Creative Product Staging

 

Google has expanded its desire for original content to include original photography, and is  looking less favorably on stock photography.  It is part of how Google decides which websites have more authority.  As the internet has morphed it’s a natural progression for each website to have its own original content for a unique online presence.

As you travel the internet you’ll begin to recognize stock photography as you see the same photo on multiple websites.  Stock photography used to be a cost effective solution for website owners. Recent years have seen substantial increases in the cost of stock photography.  If you choose 10 photos at $50 each for your website – you can afford to have original photos shot.

These two shots are staged.  Using promotional items strengthens the branding, and also helps deter your website photos being stolen.

Another huge plus for having your own photos is Google’s image search. Your images will  work as an advertisement for your services and products.  Bring an original touch to your website. View more staged photography.

While an intimate shot this required placement of the bed, nightstand and shooting the window light separately to give maximum control.

Olive Oil Bottle Photography

Staging photography is about total light control.  The shutter allowed light manipulation behind the olive oil bottle. The light in this case is a photographic light balanced and diffused to match sunlight. Separate lighting on the garlic, peppers and tomatoes give yet more control adding dimension to this olive oil bottle staging.

Liquor Bottle Staging Photography

The fire behind the bourbon bottle was photographed waiting as the flames flared to balance the bottle, and monitoring the light it cast on the bottle, glass, cigar—even the limes. Ice cubes were created from acrylic – sized proportionately to fit the glass. The second staging for this product (see below) focuses on a clean sharp reflection accented by diffusion lighting.

Product Staging Photography

Staging photography enhances a product in variety of ways, creating a beautiful setting with props, lights, visual aids or composite photography.

While this is a simple looking shot, it took multiple lighting techniques, composite photography and custom camera settings to achieve this desired look.

The same bottle was re-shot with a chilling blue (see below), using diffusion to create a background, precision is the key. Staging Vodka Bottle
