Harviestoun
Brewery

Product shots & cutouts

Harviestoun Brewery is a craft brewery based in Alva, Scotland. The client required some last minute product photography and cutouts for 36x new product listings. The challenge? It was a tight budget and tight turnaround. Thankfully, I knew my editing skills could carry us through.

A little smoke, mirrors and Photoshop magic

Product photography is a specialism. Thankfully, so is problem-solving. While an expert would achieve similar results via lighting and setup, the project required some workarounds via editing.

I met the brief using a table-top lightbox, DSLR and heavy Photoshop retouching. In addition to lighting and colour grading, there was heavy retouching to ensure consistency on position/angle, whilst removing any blemishes and reflections.
