New Cosmetic Photography by Jerry Garns Studio

January 2, 2014 / Comments Off on New Cosmetic Photography by Jerry Garns Studio

Our favorite subjects to photograph are usually things that require a highly technical approach to lighting.  Our product portfolio is full of some of the most difficult to light subjects possible:  everything from glass to chrome.  Another favorite subject of ours incorporates the same highly difficult execution, but with a twist.

Cosmetic photography requires the utmost attention to product styling.  Combining different products into one shot, all with different shapes and sizes, it similar to putting together a creative jigsaw puzzle.  We’ve had a lot of this in our studio recently, and thought to share some of our results:

Ross has been a great client over the last few years. As the economy has struggled Ross has continued to open new stores and grow. Here’s a screengrab of their new landing page that we shot here in the studio.

New Portfolios

July 10, 2013 / Comments Off on New Portfolios

One of the great things about being a photographer is it provides a great excuse to buy new toys, as in cameras .  It can unlock new capabilities, strengthen existing tech, and foster creativity.  And although technology is a very important cornerstone of professional photography, in the end it is creative vision that makes the difference.  Between projects, we’ve been busy putting together images that communicate our vision of the world.  You can see our new people and product work at our main website:  https://www.jerrygarns.com/.

But before you go, here are a few of the new additions:

Google It! With the Google GSA 7 Series.

May 6, 2013 / Comments Off on Google It! With the Google GSA 7 Series.

Imagine having your very own dedicated internal Google search engine that indexes every resource within your business over multiple platforms, all accessible instantly in one Google search bar.  No need to imagine, it’s here; we recently shot the new Google GSA 7 Series hardware.  It helps companies like Reuters, BP, American Red Cross–and even cities and governments worldwide–organize their information and access it quickly all without the internet.

Google is a world leader in organization and accessibility, and we were happy to get a glimpse at the product itself and take some shots:

CGI Lifestyle

April 18, 2013 / 2 Comments

Many elements come together in a photograph to create the intended message and emotion, not the least of which is the environment or location.  And finding or building the right place within the budget just increases the challenge.

We all want to shoot our subjects in the most beautiful, interesting, or contemporary scenes in town.  And it’s no coincidence that the gatekeepers that can give access know this as well.  It’s not uncommon to spend many thousands of dollars on the location alone – compounded by additional red tape and restrictions.  This is why CGI (computer generated imagery) is so appealing, and one reason why it has grown in popularity within the ad market.

CGI allows us to shoot the important product elements in the studio, and create the rest exactly how we would want it to look saving our client tens of thousands of dollars in location expenses.  We recently shot this lifestyle project.  Parts of the image (including people and some furniture) were shot in our studio, and the rest of the image was generated using CGI with beautiful texturing and modeling.

It was a great collaboration with our makeup artist Claudia Humburg, wardrobe stylist Holly Copeland, and our models Eric Isaiah Weldon and Dalet Hamby.  For the CGI, we recruited the help of Dutch artist Eyal Shmuel. Thank you everyone.
