  New York: Benton Collins Photography

  Title: The Shape of an Icon

  "This is a photograph of red paint poured into water and shaped into the silhouette of the iconic Heinz ketchup bottle, with labels and cap added to complete the effect. The image was created in a series of lessons for my photography student, Ian Bianco. The first lesson involved shooting red acrylic paint being poured into a fish tank of water which required a fast studio flash and careful timing to capture the pour at the best moment.

  The second lesson was shooting the classic Heinz glass ketchup bottle for it's labels, cap and overall shape. The third lesson was compositing the elements together in Photoshop, which involved stripping out the labels and cap using the pen tool, creating a guide outline of the bottle shape also using the pen tool, and then finally pushing the pixels of the best paint pour to fit within the boundaries of the outline guide using the liquify tool. I left the lower sides and bottom of the pour in its naturally captured state to add an organic randomness to the overall image."

  New York: Benton Collins Photography

  Benton Collins was recently commissioned by New York goldsmith and designer Jivan Wolf to photograph a select part of her hand-crafted jewellery for an upcoming book that will illustrate her work. Jivan studied design at the University of Paris and also studied the ancient classical methods of jewellery fabrication in Egypt and Greece. These studies lead her to become an expert goldsmith and lapidary, and she strives to combine the look of old and new in her pieces.

  Before the start of photography, Benton consulted with her in-depth, going over many different approaches, surfaces and lighting techniques before settling on the uniform look presented in this Spotlight. His goal was to achieve the right look and direction to showcase her unique pieces in a simple yet elegant way.

  Benton has been producing memorable images for clients that include Coke, Pepsi, Sony, Miller Brewing and Toshiba and has worked with many top agencies including McCann-Erickson, BBDO, Hill Holiday, Bates, and Hakuhodo.
