Old photos

Sometimes it’s fun to go over old photos. I shoot so many photos every week for a wide variety of purposes and clients that it’s easy to forget about some of the photos I shoot. For instance, I’ll do a shoot for a company and provide them with the images they need and will often shoot a variety of pictures so that they have different shots to choose from. The photos they don’t select will just get archived and tend to get forgotten about.

This morning I was looking over some old photos can came upon this one:

It’s one I shot for a company that sells the raw ingredients for soaps and lotions. They didn’t select this photo because it is too cold and clinical looking. They wanted something warm and more homey so they chose a different shot (I won’t post it here because they are using the photo on their website). Anyway, I thought this was still a cool shot.

When I was working on the image above, I had to use food coloring to tint the water in the beakers. So I couldn’t fight the temptation to play with the colors. This photo is really just a couple of drops of food coloring in stirred water.

I thought it looked pretty cool. 🙂
