Creative Cosmetic Photography
Pro Club Workshop #70
Creative Cosmetic Photography
This is an advertising photography tutorial for Pro Club Interactive Education Program, workshop #70
In this Pro Club workshop, Alex and Artem get creative with nail polish items combined with some very special liquid forms. You can use this technique to create some great advertising images!
With Alex you’ll learn how to set up the scene and lighting and how to get dramatic effects in a small studio for optimum in-camera results. Then Artem, our post-production guru, will show you how best to enhance your images for a stunning final result. We will help you overcome some common challenges and use this technique to give your portfolio the ‘wow’ factor.

Thank you so much my idol.
Hi Amal, I found this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077WT912J?pf_rd_p=2d1ab404-3b11-4c97-b3db-48081e145e35&pf_rd_r=MMWDEECB62FG6DJ55AR4
But not sure if this is the one Alex used in this workshop. But this should work 😉
Taking Olive oil as the first compound. What can you use to color it and when its in water it doesn’t dissipate and end up fogging the water column.?
I bought some oil based dye for candle making, found it on eBay.
I was using this coloring (color for lamp oil) https://amzn.to/2VWijan
Uk guys & Gals. I’ve purchased from this UK store. I’ll unfortantly miss the submission date though 🙁
