We just created two simple but we think lovely product group shots for our long-term customer EKCESS (www.ekcess.net). The company, based in China and in the U.S., looks for innovative merchandising items to import them into the U.S. The company has already been operating successfully since a long time.

We regularly shoot products for them since many years, having done the first shoot in Shanghai in 2006. At this stage we would like to thank Tyler and his entire team for the on-going business! We also hope we soon get the chance to do a third catalog!

Our photographer Ray and art director Jonathan Weston created this awesome special-effect shot with water splashes for the great guys over at FUNC FACTORY (www.funcfactory.com), producer of functional golf, ski and beach sports wear. The shot was used for one of their first ad campaigns in the U.S., and was well received by their clients.

In order to create this shot, we put a huge inflatable water pool in the middle of our studio and rented special Broncolor lights to capture the fast-moving water drops in the way we wanted it! Thanks for the great cooperation!

Since the beginning of this year we work a lot for the American product development company 3M. In the past couple of weeks we took dozens of shots of various products, such as desk lamps, post-it dispensers, water filters, etc. Below we just like to share some couple of new shots!

We just finished a third project for one of our latest clients, 3M. The company is a obvious great client with brands in their portfolio such as Post-It, Scotch Tape, Nexcare or O-Cel-O. We are excited about this new cooperation and have just finished a round of first nice shots for a brand called Filtrete. Our photographer Ray did some simple but fab product shots on a white background. Focus was on making the product the ‘hero’, which I think we quite achieved. Below are three shots of the entire series.

We just finished a small but nice packaging DTP job for BROSZIO, a German importer which required a line extension of their Durandal packaging. The product was an awesome herb scissor with 5 blades. The product is sold in various supermarkets in France and Germany.  Our art director Anne did the basic layouts and photo art directed the shoot, in which we took 5 product photographs in our studio.  We also bought some fresh parsley, chives and marjoram to make the images look fresh and nice. After the shoot, our packaging DTP operator created the final print artwork including all images, marketing texts and bar codes.

See below for some of the shots, and the final packaging.

We just finished a small but nice shooting job for a new Danish Furniture client.  We absolutely love the beautiful and simple design of the tables and chairs we photographed. Our furniture photographer Ray Sun (view his portfolio) shot the products at our client’s location in a factory near Shanghai.  In total he created 32 shots, which than our retouching team touched-up (fix imperfections, clipping path, background knock-out, file naming).

We recently finished a nice advertising photography job including creative retouching for BOSCH China. The shoot was supervised by ad agency INTERONE (Shanghai/Beijing) and took place in our Shanghai photo studio.  Photographer was Chad Ingraham, who spent about a day creating exactly the shot which was requested.  Have a look at the final print ads below, which appeared in several magazines, including VISION.

Two days ago we were given an assignment to come up with a few sample shots to show a client who is planning on publishing a dessert cook book for the Chinese market. We decided on taking two different approaches. First was a more traditional and simple food photography approach, using soft light and minimal arrangements in our studio in Shanghai.

Second we tried a fun ‘over the top shot’ with vibrant colors and a low angle. The sky and grass were added in by LJ, on of our senior retoucher from our post-production team.
