Making a Mess!

I love working with liquids and we’ve been doing a lot of test shoots in the studio recently so we decided to try and combine those techniques. This shot focused on creating the same backlit glass work you can see on the Johnny Walker bottle and glass and on the wine bottle image. but mixing in the dynamic of the splash. This meant utilizing a similar lighting strategy but with totally different strobes. After several tests we got a result we simply love.

Well done to Bill and Adam on some great retouching to combine three frames - one for the spill, one for the pour and one for the glass contents.
