For the past few days a photo idea has been brewing in my head. My portfolio has been lacking product shots, and that’s something I’m working on fixing.
I went to Canadian Tire and bought a very thin fishing line (.20 mm), a glue gun and a bottle of Coke. After that I went to London Drugs, where I bought some different coloured poster boards to use as a background. That was the extent of my shopping spree.
When I got home, I set up some lights in my living room (one of them being a snooted flash under the dining table), clamped a red poster board to a backdrop stand, taped and clamped a broomstick on half a table (don’t ask), tied a piece of fishing line just below the Coke bottle cap (having already glued a length of copper wire to the bottom of the bottle) and put a glass on the table.
After some time practicing the pouring of the Coke, I put ice cubes in the glass, unscrewed the cap, and started shooting.
And just to make it look like an ad I placed some silly text on there as well.
