Some more refinements. Matt spraying, removed the back label, and another card full of R&D

Have you googled wine advertisements and whiskey ads? I think the rim lighting and side lighting which seems to be the standard if you look at all the images is good because it gives depth and shape to the bottles.

I thought you were going to be shooting whiskey also?

Customer canceled the Bourbon because the label needs a design update.  I have experimented with it…

1) Back label off, requires a clean job. (sometimes easier said than done)

2) Wipe clean the entire bottle of dust.

3) Matt spray the entire bottle, Gota practice to become a painter without having it run down the spray… those sprays are expensive and hard to find in stock. 
4) let it dry and settle, best to wait overnight.

5) take a deep breath, use patience, and begin shooting.

6) Cule the photos, and treat it with photoshop to remove small dust particles, or reflections, and extra care for the label.  Keep the original bottle next to the monitor and make sure the colors are as close as possible.

7) If you get stuck don’t be scared to rethink the exposure / lighting setup, and try again.

8) post any questions on this forum..
