We have so many talented people in the Project 52 PRO group. Meet Rui Bandeira.
He shared this shot with my last night and I knew I had to share it with you all. Here is Rui:
“Hi,
I had 3 goals for this shot:
1) it had to be fresh and make the viewer desire to drink it
2) keep the bootle, the lable and the glass important
3) keep a traditional and rustic look
I made the image with a Canon 5DmKII and 100mm L MacroII
After deciding on the framing I wanted I started the shooting.
I knew I would do some compositing so I started by making the base shot. I would then build the rest of the shots i needed based on my drawn comp.
After the base shot I started doing the images needed for the comp.
I had to do a few images with a gold card for the interior of the bottle and glass, for doing this I hand moved the flash so I could get it pointing to the cards.
For doing the bottle images I removed the glass, and for the glass images I removed the bottle.
After having all the images, it was time to composit it all in Photoshop.
You can see a hi Res image here.”
Thanks Rui. Below are some shots Rui furnished for the shoot. See more of Rui’s work at his website.
Here is a GIF that shows the process.
