Bundaberg Brewed Drinks
Lifestyle Product Photography for Craft Beverage Company
Brand Overview
Bundaberg Brewed Drinks, a beloved Australian family business, known for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The brand is dedicated to creating exceptional beverages using real, locally sourced ingredients.
Project Objective
To create holiday imagery for Bundaberg Brewed Drinks, showcasing their products in two distinct settings: a vibrant outdoor adventure and a cozy home gathering. The goal was to create product imagery around a relaxed, non-cliche, Thanksgiving celebration.
Production Challenges
To create two distinct and festive, but non-traditional Thanksgiving scenes (a vibrant outdoor adventure and a cozy home gathering) without overcomplicating the set-up of a typically elaborate holiday scene. In addition, ensuring that the brews appeared cold, even as the environment felt cozy and warm, presented a unique challenge.
Creative Process
For the outdoor adventure shots, I chose a nearby park with vibrant fall colors and used props indicative of an adventure like a backpack, a picnic blanket, and a vintage camera. Then for the cozy home shots, I used a variety of vignettes including an inviting fireplace scene with a shared charcuterie board, a cozy livingroom, and kitchen and dining room styled surfaces propped with seasonal produce, florals, and small bites to indicate a simple Thanksgiving celebration.
To achieve the look of an ice-cold beverage, I sprayed the bottles with a glycerin solution to create the illusion of condensation and kept them looking refreshingly cool during the entirety of the shoot.
