Bottle 'Portraits'

Why 'BOTTLE PORTRAITS'? Well the success of a good portrait shows emotion and character... and this is what I like to bring through in bottle and branding photography.

Reflective, shaped glass requires precise studio setups to achieve a clean look to both the product and its reflections. My studio can cater for simple stock images right through to advanced, themed 'bottle portraits'
