Sabine Scheer
Germany
Title: 'Eden Roc Diving Between Minerals'.
Location: "My studio in Düsseldorf, Germany. The entire underwater scene was a controlled studio setup using artificial strobe lighting to create the illusion of natural light and gentle waves.
The perfume flacon is unobtrusively positioned among various rock minerals, all in subtle colors and illuminated by backlighting and streaks of sunlight. Gentle waves ripple across the underwater scene, slightly distorting the details and creating a mystical, dreamlike and vibrant atmosphere.
The image is part of a fragrance series featuring Christian Dior’s oceanic Eden Roc scent, which includes eight main images inspired by the fragrance's key ingredients: sea salt and minerals. Each image in the series, along with its effects and lighting characteristics, was captured entirely in-camera. Either the images were taken in one shot, like the winning image, or I used techniques such as motion, long exposures, or multiple exposures.
Two things all the images in this fragrance series have in common: no filters and no post-production."
