New Thirsty Horse Labels!

I photographed the new Thirsty Horse Wine bottles the other day.

The folks over at Thirsty Horse gave me this brief: The bottles need to tell a story of being somewhere tropical, but upscale and far away. One daytime shot and one evening shot/ 70s to 80s/ not too sharp. Exotic.

So, without the use of the usual large studio tricks in LA or the depths of Hong Kong's Chai Wan photo studio mecca, I managed to pull this off on the balcony of the studio.

It was a marvel of engineering how I managed to light the wine bottles with 2 mini-sunbounces, 2 Profoto 1200w compacts, and a couple black cards. It worked well and the client is happy.
