Tequila ta Kill ya!

July 31st, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

I thought the bottle for Aha Toro Tequila was very cool looking. I really wanted to so something different with it. The Aha Toro company sponsors a local afternoon radio show. The men on the show always say that if you want to shoot tequila, this is the one to do it with. It got me thinking and the idea came from some brainstorming with Brian. I contacted the men of the Men’s Room (the name of the show) to see if they had an empty bottle to use. They were really cool about it and have me SIX!!! I was soooo excited that they were willing to help me out so much I did a few pictures just for them….

For the big picture I had to cut a corner off the bottle, do pour shots, a set shot and lots of Photoshop! Here is an example shot of the pour:

Here is what the set was:

Here is the image with a collection of all the images before editing:

And the final product!

Hello!

This is me!

At this point, I will just introduce myself…

I am Alissa Tag. I grew up in Tucson, AZ, and as much as I love home I love the PNW 100 times more! I live in Auburn with my husband in our first house. I stumbled into photography about five or six years ago. I love it! I wound up going to school at Seattle Central Community College and had the most wonderful time getting my degree in Commercial Photography there. It was not always easy, but I learned so much and made so many wonderful friends. I have now been working at Morning Star Photography for over a year!

I like product photography and love coming up with creative images to create. My most recent favorite product shot is the Aha Toro Tequila. I also like portraits and have done some baby and pregnancy photos recently. I am also starting to take pictures of police officers in their uniforms and with their gear. I really think it is coming together well, but I will talk about that in a different post.

Alissa Aney,
