A key element of this realization was low-key lighting. Precise control of side/backlight allowed for the outlining of the black bottle against a black background while maintaining the readability of the white label. Water was added as a textural element to bring dynamism and realism to the scene.
Body: Canon EOS R7
Lens: 50 mm
Settings: f/6 | ISO 100
Lighting: Studio rim lighting and a precise snoot on the label.
Visual concept
Dark, sensual, and uncompromising minimalism. The dark bottle emerging from the shadows symbolizes mystery and luxury. The water on the bottle adds an element of freshness and desire, creating a contrast with the matte finish of the bottle. The red line on the label serves as the only color point, drawing attention and emphasizing the provocative nature of the name.
Main challenges
Separation of black: Maintaining a clear outline of the dark bottle on a dark background (black-on-black), which required precise positioning of the rim lights.
Water styling: Achieving aesthetic, naturally looking water droplets that do not obscure the logos but add texture.
White balance: Maintaining a neutral white of the label in a shadow-dominated composition.
