Classy Glass
High quality, good value bottle shots
About
Photographing bottles is tricky. The lighting must be precise and the reflections carefully controlled…but after doing this for fifteen years, we like to think we know what we’re doing.
Our method involves layering three images of each bottle – one for the bottle and reflections, one for the label, and one for the capsule.
Also included is a bit of a tickle in Photoshop, taking care of anything from minor blemishes to removal of barcodes and vintages on the label, and everything in between. Sometimes a splash of digital rendering is also required to make the glass perfect.
The final result is classy glass.
