The previous is on the second Saturday of June, yearly. This yr, in 2020, it was on thirteenth June. That is shortly adopted by World Cucumber Day on 14th of June. I’m not notably into “days” as such however this lockdown has given a special perspective to every thing and right here we’re!
The one cause Beefeater London Dry Gin occurs to be on this photograph collection is as a result of it’s the one Gin model I used to be in a position to find right here in Gurgaon! Alcohol remains to be onerous to search out for the reason that Authorities allowed re-opening of liquor outlets.
I painted the bottle, gave it a pleasant frosted look and the primary thought that got here to my thoughts once I’d completed portray : Is it Christmas already?
It simply may be. Within the blink of a watch. No matter occurred to all of 2020 anyway!
After having tasted various Gin manufacturers – Gordons, Beefeater, Hendricks, Monkey 47, Tanqueray, and so forth., I like all of them. I like Gin. A slice of cucumber, ice and a few good tonic water ( I choose the Imported Schweppes – not the Made In India Schweppes due to the style – I discover the Indian model is quite a bit sweeter by some means ) and I’m sorted. Yummy!
Unusual that World Cucumber Day is true after World Gin Day! Rock my world! All the data I used to be capable of finding about World Cucumber Day is that it was “Created” by somebody who works in agriculture ( a farmer maybe ), in England in 2011. I used to be not in a position to find any details about the origins of World Gin Day nevertheless.
I did drink a glass of Beefeater + cucumber slice + Scheweppes tonic water ( made in India sadly – can not find the imported selection wherever in Gurgaon, but. )
Cheers!

About The Photos
Three of those had been opened up in Adobe Photoshop to wash up the white sheet that I used as a background : one nook of the sheet has water harm from when my condominium flooded some years in the past. The second-last picture within the collection additionally had some highlights touched as much as make them pop a bit extra. Other than these three pictures, every thing else has been post-processed inside Adobe Lightroom solely.
I shot a few of them with coloured gels on the speedlights and a few with out, as a result of I additionally wished some images with true-colours of the paint and the bottle. It’s best to be capable to clearly spot the non-colored-gel pictures in these above.
These had been shot at my condominium : I should not have a studio. the condominium is it.
In regards to the Artwork
My aim was to make the bottle look lovely. That may entails portray with complementary colours however I selected to stay to the model’s current colours as a result of I used to be in a rush. I wished to complete the portray, seal the bottle and make the images at the moment. Paint colours used : 4 shades of purple, one white, and one gold. All are acrylic paints. For the frosted look, which additionally sealed within the paints, I used a Matte Acrylic Spray Varnish in a can.
It appears like Christmas already!
For now, I think about my images itch scratched. There have been no images assignments for the reason that lockdown and I’m lacking them sorely. Having tried some self-portraits, and so forth., these aren’t as enjoyable as my occasions. Vogue, personal dinners and what not. I like taking pictures that shit.
I’m accessible for rent to {photograph} merchandise at my condominium studio!
