It is one thing to shoot food photography with enormous appetite appeal, but a whole different area of expertise to photograph beverages.
Photographer and director Stephen Hamilton explains it this way: “Liquids never stop moving. You look into transparent liquids. They can have bubbles popping and froth foaming. Beverages may need to be poured or stirred. Hot ones need a stream of steam or cold ones a glass crusted with ice. Whipped cream toppings melt in two minutes, as does ice cream. It takes a lot of planning and a great team to shoot beverages.”
Whether it is a cocktail, a mocktail or a new line of energy drinks that needs to be shot, Stephen Hamilton Productions takes a 360° capabilities approach to every project. You wil have a comfortable shoot in his 11,000 sq ft studio and then walk away with every asset for your campaign in hand.
