Brief

OC 2 Task 2: Glassware

A Design Agency has commissioned you to shoot a front and back cover for an annual
report. Their client supplies and manufactures glass bottles of all kinds and colours to
the drinks industry. The shots are required to demonstrate their diverse product range –
no branding can be shown.
The two different shots will be cropped 1:1 (square format).
● The shots must be creative, original and have a strong visual impact.
● The front and back cover images must be different
● No hands, or human forms – strictly inanimate still life.
● Plan a studio shoot with notes and sketches in your Workbook/Blog
● Consider the possibilities and limitations of the studio, viewpoint, focus, quality
of light, choice of lens/lenses, camera format.

Submission – One A3 colour print with both images cropped square using the template supplied on Moodle (Bottles2Template).

Research & Ideas

The above images are by Still Life Photographer Maren Caruso who has shot for the likes of Gap, Macy’s, Levi and magazines including Maxim, Food and Travel, Bon Appetit. I like his work which is carefully considered, colourful and clean. In the brief we have, we are to shoot two images for the front and back cover and I think doing something along these lines would work well, same bottles, colours, theme but one is uniform and one more artistic. I like it and could use different colours and shapes. Possibly use the bottles to make up the shape of a bottle in one of them?
