Useful answers.

Can you photograph metallic or reflective labels?

Yes. The drinks portfolio includes glass, shiny gold and reflective labels that need precise highlight and reflection control.

Can packshots and campaign images be made together?

Yes. Planning both together keeps product colour, label treatment and brand styling consistent.

Do you photograph on location?

Yes. Bottle and campaign photography can be combined with distillery, people, hospitality or landscape imagery when the location is part of the story.
