Creative Photography and Retouching - Energy Drink
This project was done for portfolio building only and is not associated with the manufacturer.
I was walking through a local farmers market and came across this energy drink. Being a big fan of all things caffeinated, I had to try it. I was instantly inspired to create this image. After researching the brand I saw some ads where they were using the slogan “Feel the power,” so I added it to give an idea of how it could work as an ad poster and keep with their current branding. However, this project was more an exploration of creative photography and retouching.
The main challenge for this shot was how to capture the fire in a controlled environment safely. Scroll down and check out a behind-the-scenes video of the shooting process to see how a managed it.
The Studio
A quick time-lapse of what it took to produce the shot in studio. See how a built a cage to contain the fire.
