Studio Photography Insights: shooting liquid, glass and more!

176 Flares 176 Flares ×

Thank you for everyone who joined us yesterday and who submitted cocktail assignment. Special thank you goes to +Bill Cahill who joined us and gave insights of his photography techniques as well as sharp critique:-) I like it this way: constructive and without too much of “softening”.

We also did a little shoot on a second half of the hangout, where I’ve showed some of basics of how to create nice reflection on the glass using minimum resources:-)

This is one of the shots I did during a little demonstration on the hangout. The main reason for the shot was to explore technique of shooting glass using minimal numbers of lights (here was 3 strobes), as well as how to create gradient reflection on the glass with sharp edge (left on the glass).
