In addition to portrait photography I love product photography though I don’t do it often … Well! While I was unavailable on day 11, attending to my son I got a request from a client to photograph two bottles of their product for a presentation and I said “Sure!”

I went to the nearest craft store and got 2 sheets of glossy paper in addition to 2 sheets of black cartridge paper – the cartridge paper would be used to convert my umbrella octo-boxes into strip lights.

One major component I needed was unavailable though … A c-stand. I called to rent one and they were all out. So I placed my camera on a tripod, set the timer and I became the human light stand for the 3rd light … After taking the photos for the clients I decided not to let the setup go to waste so I brought in my Red Stripe Beer.
