Desert Door

E-Commerce Photography for a Mirror-Finish Bottle

Austin · Studio product shoot · 12 finals

Desert Door rebuilt its website around a new bottle design and needed e-commerce photography of the full Texas sotol lineup.

The glossy ceramic bottle has a mirrored metallic logo that reflects everything in the room, and in earlier photos the label was often hard to read.

We shot in a studio in Austin with a photo assistant while Desert Door’s marketing lead was on set. Lighting the logo darkens the curves and lighting the curves makes the logo flare, so each final was composited from dozens of frames. Every bottle was shot straight on against one background to match the brand’s favorite existing product shot.

Six days after the shoot we delivered 12 finals as web JPGs and PNG cutouts, with high-resolution TIFFs for print.
