What are you doing to stay sane? In addition to Beverage Photography, I’m catching up on some reading and enjoying a cocktail now and again, and again, and again, and again. Cheers
Have a Pint, You'll Feel Better
Let me pour you a wine.
Beverage Photography splash shots are a lot of fun. Set up takes a good amount of planning and prep but when you get started throwing wine or beer around, it’s a great time. Granted you can make quite a mess. Make sure you have plenty of paper towels ready to go. You’ll also need a good amount of the Beverage you want to photograph. You’ll be surprised at how fast you can run out of it. Also be ready for the place you’re shooting to smell like that beverage for a good while, no matter how well you may clean up.
Guest on the EOS Photographer Podcast
Recently, I was the guest of Lyn Morton on the EOS Photographer Podcast. We talked about how I got started in Beverage Photography and Food Photography. Check it out to learn more about beverage photography. Check out other episodes of the EOS Photographer Podcast to learn more about Canon cameras in particular and photography in general. Here’s the link to the show
The Day is Done
The Day is Done
And the night shall be filled with music
And the cares that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents
And silently steal away
Ice Ice Baby
As a beverage photographer, ice is very important. For the perfect ice cube, water is taken from the purest of springs in unmolested lands. Transported by the swiftest of steeds across the tundra, driven by monks who have taken an oath of silence. Wisked into an underground cave with a natural temperature of -5 Celsius for a period of no less than 3 months. The block of ice is than cut into cubes by poet ninjas. The cubes were wrapped in silk and delivered to me by white doves. Any questions? That’s ice worthy of being in a fine beverage photograph. ;)
Make 'em Thirsty
When I tried this beer at Devil’s Creek, with the chocolate rim, I knew I wanted to feature it in my Beverage Photography. I wanted to feature the condensation mixing with the chocolate and capture it sliding down the side of the glass.
Valjean from Icarus
With this photography, I wanted to tell a story dictated by the name of the beer. If you’ve ever seen or read Les Miserables you know the story of Jean Valjean. Arrested (and chained) for stealing a loaf of bread. When I created this photograph, I knew they needed to be a part of it.
Scotch...Rocks!
Smooth, earthy or smokey, a scotch on the rocks is a perfect way to end a day. Sit back and enjoy the light bouncing around inside the glass as you take your first smell. Hear the ice cubes dancing around the glass before you take your first sip. Tastes like heaven,
