For this image I decided to test a technique with water and some splashes, but with this technique the Rexona packaging would be submerged in water and the splashes of water would be made in water. As normal, whenever I photograph with water, I was careful not to let any water reach any electrical equipment.

for this, second, image of the Calvin Klein perfume bottle, Eternity, I decided to use water for the bottom, and I also chose to create some green tones in the water. I left a lot of “empty” space in the image to let the bottle “breathe” and also to maintain an advertising feel, where the text could enter the empty space. My first concern was to keep water away from electrical equipment, and also to keep the floor dry, to […]

XP-PEN Deco mini7W Review XP-Pen has just launched its new tablet, the Deco mini7w, a small but powerful table and the fact that it connects wirelessly to the computer makes this table much easier to use and much more versatile. I just had to test it, and when XP-Pen sent me this one to test it I was completely delighted with it. I’ve been editing my images with a pen for a long time, with the mouse I can’t get […]

How i made and edited the image “Eternity perfume” When I decided to make this image of a bottle of perfume by Calvin Klein, Eternity, I knew that I wanted a flash of light coming out from behind the bottle and I knew that I wanted the background color close to the color of the liquid. I started to try to build the image I had in mind, without knowing how I could even get to what I was looking […]

Chocolate cookies- BTS I went to the studio just with the idea of photographing the cookies on a wooden background, to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, I had no plans for how I was going to do this, so I tried several ideas, some of them I ended up abandoning. Preparation I started by choosing the backgrounds for the image. I had already decided that I wanted a wooden background and I knew that I had, in the studio, […]

Thank you very much to Cristina for trusting my work again, thank you to Porto Editora and Victor Gonçalves for also continuing to entrust me with the responsibility of making all the images for the book, thank you to Marta Garrido for taking […]

How i made the “Fructis” image I decided to make this image for my product portfolio, I think it is important to build images with total creative freedom, without having to follow a customer’s needs, because thais way we can experiment and look for new concepts. I already had the Fructis champoo containers in the studio for a long time to make an image with them and also had the mirrors even longer, so I decided to make this image […]

hanks to Hähnel and Comercialfoto for sending me this Hähnel Pro Cube2 for this test. This test is not sponsored, and reflects my experience with the Hähnel Pro Cube2 . In recent years we have seen a demand for lighter and smaller cameras, and manufacturers have responded to that demand, mainly with mirrorless cameras, but despite the concern, on the part of photographers, to have less weight hanging from their necks or shoulders the same has not happened with what we […]
