This was an assignment in my commercial photography class. The objective was to make a tabletop photograph on location using any available light we had at our disposal.

I used to work at the place depicted in the photo. I purchased the drinks, lemons, glass, and glycerin + water to make the water droplets. I used a flashlight to make the fill light on the label and to get the light through the drink. I took multiple different images at different exposures to create an HDR and also stacked multiple images with the light coming through the drink to make it look like one flawless image.

At the end of this assignment, I learned the different techniques and processes for creating a commercial image using layers in photoshop.
