Well certain products are really household names … at least in our household … Mom and I like to work in the woods … and the Live Like Water Retreat gives us our fair share of outdoor physical fun … and yes we enjoy the labor that is involved … but at the end of the day we are happy Robax and a hot bath can be had … and of course then we’re Back at it Again! So here is a series of photo’s I came up with to illustrate this concept … Enjoy! Cheers Michael
Product photography:alcohol. Incomplete product shots which still need to be fully retouched and processed. A work in progress.
One of my new favorite beers, a Polish Beer called Zywiec. I recently had a chance to try and capture this beers essence in studio. This shot is developed,cropped but not retouched. Cheers Michael

This Irish Whiskey: Uisce Beatha claims to have been discovered by monks … Irish Monks and they probably said it was the water of life … not the original water of life as that usually mean piss. Of course I could see how it could be demeaned the water of life … I am Polish after all. I was first attracted to this whiskey in terms of the bottle shape … I am funny that way. It looked like a good candidate to be photographed … and it was. Here is one example of studio shot took of this bottle … developed, cropped but not retouched. Cheers

Another one of my assignments for studio class where I had to make some sort of ad. The tea bag lady was to be for my tea promotion, but last minute I changed course and came up with this idea…The make up artist was the very talented Keltoum Nass with who I have had the pleasure of working with in the past…Thanks Kate…and my very talented studio partner / photographer Bin Han…the team makes the shoot!
A shot from my final exam where we had to prepare and shoot a beer bottle. This was my submission.
Moretti Italian Beer
A couple of shots from the wood kiln fired pottery I recently imported.
For A Dawson Studio assignment we had to shoot a model and then make a composite by placing them on another background. After struggling with different background concepts I came up with this. More pictures will follow when I finish “extracting” my subject. A big thank you to Ruby Rhapsody a very talented Burlesque dancer, and of course Teny our make up artist. Thank you Bin Han, my studio partner for all your help.
Hot Tea
The best and most smooth green tea you’ll ever experience.
Here are a couple attempts at photographing the South Korea wood fired pottery I recently imported. There are a few different pieces that I photographed at different times…no retouching…just developing…
