This is fascinating and very clever. Thank you for sharing.

Really well done Nick, that floor doesn’t look shiny enough to reflect that well in the final piece but I may be wrong. Did you sharpen that up a little or was that really reflected that well? Just curious.

Since the image was taken at such a low angle, the strobe glanced across the floor and didn’t pick up the yellow- just the reflection. I then pushed it to a little cooler, bluish tone in post.

How did the yellow tiles ended up looking blue?

It definitely has the “editorial look” that is meant to be eye grabbing. It looks like there is plenty of white space for typography, do you have the final example with copy?

No water. Just the tile.

Correct. I pushed it slightly cold looking in post. There is a black shoe on the left, middle is white, right is grey and top is navy. The lighting is definitely hard, but for a sales graphic, it is eye-grabbing and effective.

simple and effective. great lighting. The white balance may be a little off but I like the lighting drama. :)

No water on the floor for the reflection ?

Looks less like white balance and more like intentional post processing – perhaps a light to moderate “cross process” or otherwise film-like mod.
