Product shot for Candle-Lite - Separate shots were not taken. Saving the company a reshoot, I used elements of the original photo located at the top, to create the two seperate product shots. The white simmer pot being the most work, recreated from the black simmer pot. then using certain elements from the original to create the candle lighting, then adding back highlights lost in the color conversion from black to white.

Concepted with the Author, the chosen images were combined with different textures and elements to create a bible like look, for a very dynamic effect.

Product shot for Candle-Lite - Using owned images by Candle-Lite, Extracting the pear and lily from images with backgrounds and other things going on, I combined the pear and lily. Color correcting to make the images look as they have the same lighting, changing the color of the lily, cloning certain parts, creating shadows, adding highllights to create the desired effect. No before shot unfornately.

Using owned images by Candle-Lite, I combined the apple and pomegranate. Color correcting to make the images look as they have the same lighting, cloning certain parts, creating shadows on the apple, adding highlights to create the desired effect. No before shot unfortunately.

PE USA Machines - PE USA Labeling have professional shots "cough" where they threw up a big ugly green tarp behind all the machines they needed shots of. I had to path these machine (on top excluded parts on the machine) then color correct these and put glass back in the windows. Last but not least, the recreation of the shadows, all to be used for print later. This was done on several machines.

PE USA - A product shot done for PE USA Labeling. Although I forget what these were use for. The above shot to the left was the professional shot that I had to color correct. I pathed out the images for seperation and color corrected the bottles.

Candle-Lite Winter Nights Package Design - The design for "Winter Nights" was created using a custom brush in photoshop for the background on the box, then brought into Illustrator and the rest of the design was completed. The beauty shot was composed using different images and the magic of Photoshop.
