Comments
Karl & Co.,
Thank you for the critique of all our images. Invaluable as always.
While I agree my submission was too simplistic (maybe better as a pack shot) my concentration was on the lighting and dimensionality, which you seemed to appreciate so I’m delighted with that.
Full disclosure: This was a flat lay using the KT Light Cone. 😉
Hi Edward, glad you enjoyed the show and thank you for entering and using the Lightcone! 🙂
Hi Karl & Emma, sadly I missed the beginning of the live, the reason I used a piece of wood underneath, is that the perfume is made from Oud, which is famous in the Middle East. It’s a type of wood with a distinct scent.
I showed it to the salesman in the shop, he said the wood looks exactly like the type of wood they use for this product.
Thanks for the comment, next time I’ll pay attention to these details.
Hi Aby, thanks for the update that makes more sense now.
