CALVIN KLEIN
A product photography workshop where participants practiced and shot product photos of the iconic bottle from the prestigious Kalvin Klein brand.
A hands-on photography workshop focused on the art and technique of creating high-end commercial images for a Calvin Klein fragrance.
Throughout the workshop, we explored the complete creative and technical process behind product photography from concept and composition to lighting, reflections, textures, and final image creation.
One of the main focuses was learning how to control light with precision. We experimented with different lighting setups, including key light, fill light, rim light, backlight, side lighting, and controlled highlights, creating different moods and dimensions around the perfume bottle.
We worked with softboxes, strip boxes, grids, reflectors, flags, diffusion materials, black and white cards, and other modifiers to shape the light and control reflections on the glass and metallic surfaces of the bottle.
A particularly important part of the workshop was understanding how to photograph transparent, reflective, and glossy objects. We explored techniques for creating clean edges, defining the silhouette of the bottle, controlling unwanted reflections, and placing precise highlights exactly where they were needed.
We also worked with negative fill and subtractive lighting, using black surfaces and flags to create contrast and give the bottle more definition. Different angles and distances between the light sources and the product allowed us to see how small changes could dramatically affect the final image.
