For this shoot I wanted to get some still life’s. I went and brought six bottles of wine, and got some single images of just the bottles, some more abstract images of the labels and some of them grouped together.

Contact Sheet

I started with 69 images from this shoot, I then selected the ones I liked best.

Editing

Most of the images only needed brightening up.

However, for the image of the label, I cropped in on the text and emblem more, so they took up most of the frame, to bring out some of the harder to see details with in the image. Such as the embossed lines which run along the label .

Finals

This is one of my favourites from this shoot. the ambient light give a nice sheen to the bottles, bouncing reflections back at the viewer. As the bottles go back they blur creating a interesting depth of field that sifts as the last bottle is turned slightly. The colours stand out with warm whites and creams, and deep reds working together to create a mixed colour palette of autumn.

Evaluation

Overall I’m happy with how this shoot turned out and I got some really good images. however, in the future id like to try a black backdrop for some images like this and see if it creates a different feel.
