Session Four

Product Photography 2

This is the second session we had on product photography. In this session we were able to bring in our own items and shoot our own photographs of our products. I brought in two Lynx deodorant cans, both of the same scent. One was the body spray and one was the actual deodorant. My ideas were originally to take a photograph of the cans together in some sand or something, as they are both Lynx Dry cans. I thought it would be a good way of advertising the product. Here are some of the images I took.

As you can see I didn't take photographs of the product in sand, because it wasn't available to me. However I thought that I could spray the cans with a bit of water, giving them a cool and potentially professional look. I like the fact that the water contradicts the 'Dry' can and that it could potentially represent sweat which I think could be a clever way of advertising it - perhaps in quite a twisted way.

I used the studio to shoot the photographs and then edited them in Lightroom. I desaturated all the colours except the blues, making the blue pop out more.
