Object session 2 Perfume

The bottle that I picked up was Paul Smith Extreme, I chose this bottle as is was colourful just on one side.

Whilst taking pictures I had these striking colours in mind, how to get them in shot and also sell the brand, with the name in shot.


This was taken in natural light on a window ledge, the simple back colours don't over power the brightness of the bottle.


This was taken on it's side to reflect the pattern, shot in natural light again but in the studio.


This one was shot in the studio with lighting, by Proxy. The studio was taking up a lot of peoples time so I sat at a table, whilst waiting I found a black card and this interesting piece that fit perfectly behind the bottle so I propped them up and began snapping with the camera low down to the table.




For a location shoot I chose this fence post, it was actually an accidental shot as I put the bottle down to get this shot

trying to think of the least extreme place as I could, just to be absurd?







These were the finished products, not final but more a note to see how it would look.





























A little bit of history now


Famous Early Perfumes - Chanel No 5 

Picture of roses.Ernest Beaux created Chanel No. 5 for Coco Chanel in 1921.  It has a floral top note of ylang-ylang and neroli, with a heart of blends of jasmine and rose all above a woody base of sandalwood and vetiver.  Chanel believed women should wear perfume wherever they hoped to be kissed.  Today Chanel No.5 sells a bottle every 30 seconds. 
In recent years Chanel No. 5  has been marketed as a spray with two refills in an effort to have it recognised as an essential everyday finishing touch rather than a precious scent to be used sparingly.

A bit about Paul Smith

 These are all perfume adverts from Paul Smith all concentrating on the distinctive stripes that is synonymous to the name.












Strangely enough I couldn't find any more images from any ad campaign to do with his products or fragrance.
