Using commercial studio techniques, I produced a series of product photos that could be used to advertise the V8 Splash and Monster Energy drinks. My goal was to use high-speed photography as well as advanced lighting methods to produce creative, eye-catching product photography without the use of photo compositing.

With this project, the most substantial challenge I incurred was controlling the various elements in each environment. When making a huge mess in a photo studio, you have to be cautious about the placement of the equipment. Another challenge I experienced was controlling the lighting on each shiny metallic can. With its reflectiveness, it was difficult to generate a smooth texture.
