Shooting objects with glossy, reflective surfaces

 

About Max Plotnikov

I started my photography in high school. I’ve been shooting black and white and then color film. It was sort of a background hobby.

After I graduated I had worked for a product package design studio for about 10 years before I joined Doberman. It was the place where I first met professional product photographers. I was really impressed by what they were doing. Among other things I have been part of food photography, some splash photography etc. That was truly invaluable experience. As I say – I was really impressed by what our product photographers did but somehow never considered myself being a professional product photographer.

I came to Doberman with the idea to expand it to fully integrated creative and production studio.

We turned photography and retouching into something bigger – casting, stylists, visagists, shooting logistics, 3D graphics.
