DFH Burton Baton

I bought a 4-pack of Dogfish Head Burton Baton for the weekend and decided to have a try at product photography when I got home from work.

I read a blog article about beer bottle photography a couple months ago and wanted to try it back then, I just never got around to doing it.  I tried to remember exactly how the photographer set up the shot and replicate it.  For some reason, I couldn’t find the blog article to look at it again.

I took 67 photos before I got the outcome I wanted.  At the end of the day, I need one more strobe to make things easier and turn out better.

And the setup shot…

The Outcome

I set up a special “Profiling” photo session on May 4, 2013 for those that were interested in having their family photo taken like the one I did of my family.

This was my first planned photo session that I did via an announcement on the website and several advertising posts on Facebook.

Four families booked the session with several others that were interested that could not make the May 4th date.

All in all, the session went as I anticipated.  Each family was in and out in under 15 minutes.  I learned a couple things during the process that will make doing a shoot like this in the future easier on both me and the family.
