Product photography of wine bottles – useful features

Perfect pictures of glossy items are not possible when any part of the photo equipment reflects in the objects. Being aware of this, we constructed ALPHASHOT XL WINE in a reflection-aware way.

What are the game-changers?

• Aluminium parts, screws, and even interior surfaces of the side door are black to avoid unwanted reflections.
• Another feature that makes working with ALPHASHOT XL WINE extremely efficient is the intelligent bottle support.

A common problem when shooting red wine bottles, is the “not so nice” white table reflection in the dark bottle. In ALPHASHOT XL WINE it can be easily avoided by placing the bottle on a high support, which prevents the reflection from the table. The software will automatically remove the support from the picture in streamlined post-production.

• Photography of wine bottles has always posed a challenge to photographers. Remember fighting with nasty light reflections on their smooth dark surfaces? Alphashot XL Wine comes with an anti reflection kit that will diffuse the light and reduce any reflections allowing you better control over the final effect. Think less post production.

• As a fantastic improvement to workflow speed comes with the 360° motorized turntable which makes it easy to take consistent pictures of the object from all sides.
  Software will produce ready-to-be-used images quickly and they will be repeatable.
• What’s crucial in ALPHASHOT XL WINE is that its dedicated software will automatically remove the background from any item, including extremely difficult transparent glass products.
  The image is automatically processed and in the final phase the item is auto-cropped and placed in the right position in the final image.
