Summery atmosphere in photos of cosmetics
You can create a sunny, summery feel, as if the photo shoot is happening at the seaside, right there in the studio. All you need is a basin of water and a piece of blue cardboard. The photographer’s assistant then makes the waves with the help of a hairdryer.
Streams of sauce over ice cream
Ice cream is one of the most difficult things to photograph. It melts quickly, losing its texture and shape. That’s why some professionals use vegetable fats, colorings, and icing instead of the real treat. However, there are those photographers, who prefer working with real ice cream. To prevent it from melting, the bowl can sit on top of ice chips. Sometimes, pieces of paper towels are placed on top of the scoops. This ensures that the sauce won’t ruin the composition, and will form graceful patterns over the ice cream
Foggy glassware with cold drinks
Unfortunately, cold drinks warm up quickly under the bright light of photography equipment. The necessary condensation on the glasses is, therefore, created with a mixture of water and corn syrup, diluted at a 1:1 ratio. Smaller sprays are achieved using a spray bottle, while the larger droplets are applied strategically, using a pipette or a toothpick. You can also create a cooling effect by choosing glassware, or a background with appropriate coloring.
