The windmill was photographed using available light. The low angle of the light source along with the warm background suggest sunset. The origial 35 mm negative was scanned and enhanced. We introduced a computer-generated background and cut out the sails in order to make the animation possible.

The wine bottles were photographed using strobe lights. These studio shots guaranteed crisp, clean images with contrast in value to draw the viewer's attention. Extra care was taken to make sure that the label part of each bottle was lit evenly. These wine bottles have also been used by the client in other areas, such as restaurant menus and brochures.
