It is about light sculpting. I spend hours positioning every single light source to make sure that glass gleams and the liquid inside glows, specifically to control those tricky, infinite reflections. My goal is to capture the bottle in a way where the viewer sees the soul of the fragrance, not the studio equipment reflected in the glass. The challenge with beauty and fragrance is that every brand has a specific 'voice.' A YSL bottle might demand a moody, masculine treatment with hard shadows, while a botanical hair oil needs soft, natural light to feel fresh. ### My Process We start with the concept. I do not just shoot; I plan. If we need a liquid splash or a specific refraction, we build it. My team includes stylists who know how to handle delicate textures—whether it is the velvet box of a lipstick or the subtle condensation on a perfume bottle. ### Technical Precision We shoot primarily on the Hasselblad X2D. This is not just about resolution; it is about dynamic range. When you are dealing with metallic caps, dark glass, and gold liquids, you need gear that catches the nuance in the highlights. We use focus stacking to ensure that the branding, the cap, and the liquid are all tack-sharp, creating a clean image ready for billboards or digital campaigns. ### Collaboration A great shot is rarely a solo act. Whether we are in my Pune studio or on location, I bring in art directors and prop stylists to ensure the composition matches your brand guidelines. You are not just hiring a photographer; you are getting a production partner who obsesses over the details. ## About Ashish Gurbani I’m Ashish. I treat every fragrance bottle and cosmetic compact like a sculpture, obsessed with finding the exact angle where light makes it pop. My team and I handle everything from the conceptual mood board to the final, high-res commercial output.
