ABSTRACT
The problem with shooting a cold beverage is that once you finalize the set and pour the cold liquid into the glass, you have to wait until frost and condensation forms before completing photography. Then, you have a very short window of time to capture the perfect shot. By using the techniques in this chapter you can fake the effects on the glass and have more control of the appearance of the glass as well as more time to achieve the shot! The first time you read the descriptions of these techniques, you may think that they are a lot of trouble. But if you try them, I believe you will not only appreciate the effects, but also adopt them for future use. The techniques described in this chapter will give you a good foundation to send you down a successful path toward achieving the look you want when photographing “cold” beverages.
