Photographer Scott Bourke gives us a complete overview of how he took a fantastic product shot of a few bottles of beer. Scott uses a single flash and 4 reflectors to create a very professional looking image that any photographer (no matter how little gear they have) is capable of creating. As I have always said, photography is all about good lighting and good lighting does not mean expensive lighting. Let's hope that Scott is going to enter our BTSV contest.

so simple, and he took an excelent pic!
this is a good inspiration for the BTS contest
Really pro work. Love it.
doesn't look like the cactus triggers have improved much haha, second shot and already misfiring
Yeah good old miss fire for the V2s but considering they are the same batteries they came with from 3+ years ago and I have certainly given them a hard life I cant complain about them too much. The Cactus KF36 strobes work rather well too.
nice tutorial for newbies, but i will try it tomorrow
The final pic was really top notch!! simple tools turn out great pics!!

Wow thanks for all the great comments guys. I will certainly be doing plenty more BTS videos of other product shoots and tackle some interesting subjects.
Awesome video, I might have to try this soon. Only criticism is why did you use such a crappy beer! :-P

Love the fact that he is even using the extra beer to hold up his foam board... Very nice.
Was the final image white foamcore overhead but not on the sides then? Thanks for sharing!
