    Bartender here... tip for the garnishes. You can shock them (what we do every shift before service). Take your basil or mint, and lightly submerge your bunch into a pitcher or cup of ice water. Let it sit for a couple minutes in the ice bath and then remove and gently shake off the water. This keeps your herbs bright and rigid for hours.

      Another bartender here, using a propper polishing cloth can really maye your glassware look crisp and pristine. Im a personal fan of the Riedel Polishing cloth: www.amazon.com/dp/B000F2SRFS/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_awdb_joC8Eb42G2WW7

      Having worked in Food N Beverage industry my whole life, I am now using that experience to educate, but also take my once side gig of photo/video-graphy to top levels, haha. Yaa So what Dave, HAHAHA I know,
      But Hint: you salt on the ice, it acts like a subtle glue that makes the ices sorta all stick together. Cooks do it with there ice bins, it helps keep it together and supposedly slow the melting down, although I didnt really see the melting effect that much, but Im not watching ice melt, haha. So yeah sprinkle a good top coat of salt, table salt, and see how it helps, experiment with amounts and stuff. Hope it helps. PEACE

    If you don't have fresh garnish, pop some of the prepackaged ones in a glass with a bit of water for an hour. That's usually enough time to perk them back up! If they're 'closed', gently run them under water to open them before sticking them in the glass. :)

    @s.m.s.m.630 Před 6 lety

    Hello Joanie,
    came across your channel a few hours ago and just stuck :D Binge watching your videos is fun, being a person who loves photography, food and drinks. You are awesome! Really like your personality and your tips and tricks!
    Beverage photography are one of the most difficult and challenging topics in product photography. Glassware, controlling the light and the reflections, making the drink and the whole scene look good and desirable. Sometimes there are bottles involved, or even some flowing drinks like beer. Foam, melting ice and things like that are challenging as well. This could be a really, really complicated thing, especially if you want to do a composition. Your video is great, just makes you want to mix a nice cocktail and make a photo of it!
    Here are some other tips:
    1. Learn to control your light & reflections: try out different "types" of light, directions of light, soft boxes / reflectors etc, experiment with some rotating polarisers for your lights.
    2. Look at the scene from the camera perspective, get yourself comfortable, sit down.
    3. Use a syringe to get rid of a liquid, e.g. if your ice melted too much. An electric pump is also a good thing to have.
    4. Shoot things separately, trying to get them as good as you can step by step: the vessel without the drink and later on with the drink, then with some extra foam on top etc. When you're done, put everything together in photoshop.
    5. Try to keep your camera as steady as you can: E.g. control it with some software.
    6. Invest in a good camera stand (see 5.).
    7. Think about some clever and fast way to control your lights (app / software), get some help to speed up the process.
    8. Invest in some good tools (brushes etc) and keep them well organised.
    Extra tip: Use compressed air to get rid of dust.

    One thing you might run into when using an interesting glassware is the owner of the venue might not want you to use them because they don't normally serve their drinks in them. So be sure to clear it first with a decision maker.
    The worst case of this that ever happened to me is a restaurant wanted me to photograph their special beverage in a foam take-out cup "Because that's what our customers receive." When I showed the examples on my cell phone how McDonalds, Arby's, Burger King, etc. use real glasses for their advertising photographs, not paper or foam cups they changed their minds.
    Also, you might want the venue to have their supplier send over some brand new glassware of the kind they normally use in their food and beverage service. Otherwise, you might find yourself trying to clean used, faded, scratched, stained glassware. And as you know, every blemish and imperfection is going to be glowingly obvious under the gaze of a macro lens. The same applies for dishes, too.

    Bonus ice tips: Commercial photogs recommends Trengove Studios acrylic ice. each cube one of a kind and clear. Pricey tho. Another option for crystal clear ice is to freeze a larger bit of water in a cooler. Don't need to freeze it all, First half of freeze clear. pour off rest and cut to shape with serrated knife.

    My biggest struggle when shooting drinks seems to be focus. Is it better to focus on the front lip of the glass/cup? Or try to focus on the surface of the drink itself? Maybe I just need a smaller aperture? IDK, they just never quite turn out how I envision in my head. Any suggestions?

    When I was shooting motion pictures (shows you how old I am) we used two types of dulling spray. A permanent type and a non permanent type which could be removed with a cloth. We also used the permanent dulling spray to spray glossy photography prints to make them look a bit Matte... I don't remember who made the non-permanent dulling spray...
