Author: Ilya and Max Plotnikov, owners at Doberman Studio
Steam and smoke is a way less popular theme in advertising than splash but equally interesting.
This is a short behind-the-scene from one of photography advertisement jobs we had in past for one of our clients. We made it for you to inspire and show a little bit of the creation process of Nescafe coffee, Enjoy!
We are working on new courses that will be released soon, please check out the Photigy Store for the release.
The Final Image
1. Concept & previsualization
The idea was to create a coffee bean made out of steam went from a coffee cup.
The image supposed to to be used in a variety of formats so we decided to shoot every part of the composition separately. That would allow us to compose object for all vertical and horizontal formats.
Coffee jar had several absolutely different materials within itself: glass, plastic, glossy metallic paper and coffee granules. It was essential to make sure every of those parts would look the best of possible. Sometimes it make sense to set a lighting scheme for every part of the object and compose them in Photoshop.
2. Photography
As for the cup the only complexity was to take a few shots with different shape of coffee foam just to be sure there will be a choice.
3. Special Effects
For creating a nice steam we used Condor Foto special effect. There are two separate liquids that produces smoke while being put close to each other.
4. The Final “Assembly” of a composite image
Then we had to compose all elements together.
When the composition Was done we made final color correction.
