Chicago Liquor Commercial Photography | RGG Photo

Attention to detail is one of the biggest aspects of commercial product photography. Take a few minutes and stare at every part of the image. What do you see? Why do you see it? How did it get there? Why is it there?  We don't take photos, we make them. Often times we will spend an entire day creating the pieces for an image like the one above. We focus on tone, where your eye travels at first glance, what's in focus and what's purposely slightly soft. Often times the hardest part of creating images like the one above is shifting gears, scratching what's already been shot, and taking the image in a slightly different direction, possibly with a new glass or change in arrangement. It's rarely the ONE big change that makes the difference, but the 5-10 small tweeks that create the best overall image to help the creative director reach their goal. Often times what was drawn out on paper and in your mind doesn't quite work with camera perspective and a new solution needs to be found quickly to create the best possible image. If there is one thing about this line of work, it's that you have to be meticulous with each step and constantly think of how this will go together in post production.

It's shark week here at RGG, but then again when isn't it shark week here at RGG? 2013 is turning out to be an epic year, and it's only getting more epic with what we have planned. Each month we will be shooting a unique beer bottle from accross the US from the nations best micro breweries. Got a unique bottle? Work at a micro brewery? Want to see your favorite beer bottle highlighted with a little RGG flare? E-mail gary@rggphoto with your request and we will investigate the bottle and design. We are looking for bottles with either unique bottle shapes, unique bottle label designs, and/or a combination of the two.

We are in the middle of a busy production week here in Chicago. We're buying plants, white washing fences, stripping labels off wine, knee deep in prop houses, and prepping a whole lot of cheese from Kraft. We are looking forward to shooting our outdoor set, inside, today in our Chicago studio and working with a great collection of creatives from across the country.

Commercial Watch Photography | RGG Photo Chicago

It's been a great couple of weeks here at RGG. Last week we wrapped and incredible behind the scenes shoot with Phlearn, and this week we get to create an outdoor set indoors, which is one of our specialities. Because so many of our ads are shot months before they are printed, we often have to make Summer in Winter, Spring in Fall and outdoors indoors, which takes us from behind the camera and into the shop with power tools. We look forward to a great week with an incredible team.

So pumped to be back in our Chicago studio.
