I was commissioned to take some product shots for the soon to be released skin care line called Skin Cubed. I love shot not only for it's aesthetic value, but also because it serves as a example to me that it doesn't take a fancy studio or expensive equipment to make great photographs.
To create this shot I used items such as a cookie sheet, tinfoil, pitcher of water and a turkey baster, items more associated with a kitchen than a photography studio!
Perhaps more than any photo I have ever taken, this shot reminds me that it's all about being able to think creatively and posses the technical knowledge to create your vision. I believe that really good photographers are among the rare group of people that can combine these two, sometimes opposing skills, to create memorable images. Some people think pragmatically, others artistically, photography often requires you to do both. As I usually take this "middle path" it's no wonder I found my calling in photography.
