Commercial Beer Photography & Retouching Tutorial | PRO EDU

learn to set up beer photography with a simple white backdrop, control highlights, and explore backlight, backdrops, polarizers, and tethered capture.

Master the art of shooting a tapered beer glass by refining lighting, foam management, polarizer use, and edge definition with black cards to highlight the beer, head, and the logo.

Master lighting, glass geometry, and highlight control for dark stout beer shots in a bird's-eye view, then apply retouching and compositing to merge body and head for a beer photograph.

Master the urban chestnut beer pour by rigging a Zwick old bottle with a Mathews clamp on a C stand, shaping light, and capturing turbulence for post-production.

Retouch beer photography by compositing beer body and head, removing the background, and applying color grading and frequency separation to refine glassware, liquid, and bubbles.

Learn a complete beer retouch workflow from capture to Photoshop. Blend upper, middle, and lower halves with layer masks, gradients, curves, and frequency separation versus healing brush techniques.

Learn to craft a full beer pour retouch by selecting multiple exposures, masking and compositing glass and bottle elements, and refining with diffusion, color, and dodge and burn techniques.

Light a refreshing Kirin Ichiban bottle with glycerin condensation, ice powders, and crystal ice, while using left-side lighting and a bar light for dramatic highlights that protect the logo.

Set up a Kirin Ichiban bottle on a compact base plate with black plex and use polarizer-enhanced lighting to create dynamic reflections and a bold, label-focused shot.

Learn to dress a bottle for commercial beer photography by mixing a 50/50 glycerin solution, applying ice crystals, and refining spritz and droplet placement.
