Blue Frog 蓝蛙酒吧鸡尾酒拍摄

---

CLIENT: Blue Frog Bar & Grill

WHAT: Cocktail with surrounding drinks and bottles

WHEN:  August 2009

WHERE: Blue Frog Bar & Grill, Xujiahui venue

WHY: Blue Frog wanted photographs of their food and beverages for in-store, menu, and online advertisement

HOW: For this image, product placement was crucial. The color and shape of each bottle and drink was very important to create the right atmosphere for the product. Originally, there was a frosty white bottle in the background where the blue Sky vodka bottle is. The seemingly obvious decision to switch the bottle was made for the better mix of colors, overall feel of the photograph, as well as the color tying in nicely with the name of the restaurant. As an additional plus, we realized that SKYY Vodka is one of the main vodka suppliers to Blue Frog.

To highlight the cocktail, we used one light for the overhead as well as another to add an extra emphasis on the Blue Frog design. Various grids were used to light the surrounding bottles and scrim to bounce the exuding light back into frame.

FUN FACT This was Justin’s very first shoot with Scott and Limelight Studio, and ended up holding a large scrim overhead for the better part of two hours.

客户：蓝蛙餐厅

拍摄对象：鸡尾酒和周边饮料的搭配

拍摄时间：2009年8月

拍摄地点：蓝蛙Bar & Grill 徐家汇店

拍摄缘由：蓝蛙酒吧邀请Limelight Studio为他们拍摄食物和饮料的照片，用于店内装饰，菜单以及线上广告

拍摄方法：对于这张照片，蓝蛙产品的位置摆放十分重要。玻璃瓶及饮料的颜色形状对于烘托主体气氛起着关键性的作用。起初，在蓝色伏特加酒瓶位置有一只白色冷杯。然而蓝色伏特加酒瓶有更好的颜色混合度，并能增加整张照片的感觉，因此我们决定将冷杯更换成蓝色酒瓶。除此之外，选择SKYY伏特加是因为它是蓝蛙酒吧的主要伏特加品牌供应商之一，而且蓝色和蓝蛙酒吧的“蓝”字有很好的呼应效果。

为了突出鸡尾酒，我们在顶上用了一盏灯加上一块反光板通透光线，同时又用了另外一盏灯打在蓝蛙玻璃杯上。灯光加上不同的蜂巢用来点亮周围的瓶子，而反光板的运用使光线反射进相机取景器。

拍摄花絮：这时Justin第一次跟随Limelight Studio拍摄，他尽职尽责地在全程拍摄中一直拿着若光布，值得褒奖。
