I think Coors should hire me as their photographer!



We didn't catch anything on this trip except a good buz.

 

Well done kid, well done...

 

Light beer can suck my....

 

I don't drink the stuff either. I'm a Fat Tire girl. But the can was perfectly perched on the rock that it made for an awesome picture.

Kind of like this one. Gotta lower the testosterone levels a bit.

 

Was you buzzing when you took the pic?

It's good, but it's not great.

First and for most it's Coors, you can only do so much to help a product...not the best looking product packaging and definatly not the best tasting.

Second the image lighting is off, the sun light should have been screened over the can to difuse the light so we could see the top of the can. Color photography is about capturing colors. We all know the top of the can is a silver/gray with light streaks of black/grey marbeling from the machining, but all I see is white.

Third the image composition is off center, for a product shot you want the product you are photgraphing to be dead nuts center. The image looks off balance. Camera position up and right would correct this image. This could also be corrected in photoshop with no loss of image quality, but would be both disapointing and discouraging to the ad composition artist.

So as a marketing advisor I would reject that image unless it was the best from the shoot, then I'd be pissed.

Now the flowers...... that could be used! That is a GREAT shot!

 

What kind of camera did you use?

 

I like Coors Light. It seems everyone likes bud light but last time I had a bud light I had to chase it just to finish it. Nonetheless thats a good photo!

 

Dude, YOU'RE KILLING ME SMALLS! Okay so I'm not a professional but dammit it's a good pic being that I had seaweed and barnicles shoved up my lower quarters at the time. Coming from an "artist" point of view, you do not want the subject smack dab in the middle of the pic so off kilter is good. But for product advertisement, I'm sure you wouldn't be complaining if there was a nice set of hootie-cans in the background.

I think Hootie cans on the image left background would add balance!!!

I might be more interested in the seaweed and barnicles............ lol


Artistically you are currect, you rarely center a subject. For artistic then it would be a perspective shot to make you question if the can was really there or if it was a real can, typically from the bottum shooting up. (how ever IMO that shot lacks artistic value cause everyone uses it. If they are trying to be artistic, they should use thier imgination and show me something I've never seen before.)

But for product photography the whole ideal of marketing is brand recognition. You do want the subject to be the center of attention, everything else is just subliminal.

 

I think Pss-Mag needs to produce a better picture for us to compare to. But I bet he's afraid.

 

You give me enough of this product and I'll show you the seaweed and barnicles!

 

Yep I am, I'm afraid of the cold and snow outside.... I don't get warm beaches in winter for exotic product shoots!

Edited to add:
I dont have any corrs cans laying around either.

 

 

That's a nice pic. I have since moved on to drink real beer. Coors light is like training wheels for a beer drinker. Eventually you move on to something bigger.
