Product shots for web and social media.
Going off of a mood board the client had given me, I had creative freedom for the most part. Here's what I came up with:
My favorite shot from the job.
In this composite shot, the background is part of a 3D kitchen I had previously created in Blender 3D.
I mixed that with some painting in Photoshop.
Then I dropped in the images of the bottles and reflections.
I didn't have a food stylist on this shoot, so I learned some different ways to cut and light chocolate!
Finding a Vanilla Planifolia orchid was nearly impossible, as they bloom only once per year.
I decided that it was a great opportunity to hone my 3D modeling and lighting skills!
I photographed the bottle in real life.
Then in Blender 3D, I made a replica of my set for the flower placement and lighting.

Mock-ups I showed the client nearly a year prior.
I began modeling a honey dipper to see how quickly I could do it, but then decided not to go with it.
Some alternative concepts, just for fun.
