Seabrook glasses

Changing gears a bit, this was a studio shot done for Seabrook. The client request was for the etched crystal wine glasses on the beach with a rose. The initial attempt proved impossible to clearly show the light etched logo against light colored sand in a natural environment. Glass is typically done against white and black outlined and etched glass needs back light to be seen. The solution was in the studio and raising the subject up off the sand to allow us to control the light on the sand independent of the glass and etching. Simply by placing the glasses on a sheet of glass and raising 4 inches off the sand, this was accomplished. Something different!
