Behind the Scenes: How We Shoot Your Brand
You want to see how the magic actually happens, right? Here’s a peek into my chaotic, yet organized, process—from setting up lights to getting that final, perfect frame.
Here’s a little peek behind the curtain at the Clay Co. shoot. I believe showing the process is just as important as the final product. This video gives you a glimpse into my setup for capturing both clean product shots and detailed texture videos.
Just me geeking out about light in my new apartment, lol. This was a quick test to see how I could use natural sunlight, a key light, and a hair light to create a moody, cinematic look. It's this kind of experimentation that I bring to every project.
About The Process: Behind The Scenes
What you see on social media is the polished result, but the process is usually me moving lights around my apartment for three hours or juggling props until the reflection hits just right. Whether it's a professional skincare shoot or a simple lighting experiment in my living room, I believe in showing the messy reality behind the final image. If you hire me, this is what you get: raw effort, experimental lighting setups, and honest communication about how we achieve that deep, cinematic film look.
Why I Show The Process
Clients often ask why I film the behind-the-scenes content too. It is not just for reels—it is about transparency. When you see the setup, you understand the value and the work that goes into the final output. From using acrylic blocks for depth to finding the perfect angle with my Sigma Art lenses, I want you to know exactly how your brand is being portrayed.
My Technical Approach
I am obsessed with the 'film look.' That means deep colors, moody lighting, and intentional shadows. My home studio sessions often involve testing natural light against key and hair lights to see how they interact with product textures. It is nerdy, sure, but it ensures that when we shoot your product, we are not just clicking buttons; we are engineering a specific vibe.
What To Expect From A Session
- Collaboration: I bring the gear (Sony A7s3 for that buttery slow-mo), you bring the vision.
- Adaptability: Whether we are in a studio or your office space in Mumbai, I can pivot. If the natural light is not hitting, I will bring in the strobes and artificial setup to fake it until it looks perfect.
- Post-Production: I do not just shoot and run. I color grade everything myself, syncing cuts to audio that fits your brand’s personality, not just what is currently trending on the app. Let's create something real, not just another polished, soulless ad.
