The workshop was broadcasted to hundreds of photographers around the world, and Alex was answering questions during the shot. Here you can get the whole Advertising Product Photography Workshop video and a post-production piece (another 55 mintes video that was recorded afte the workshop).

2 hours of Photo Editing: Full post-production of the “Blue” shot in Adobe Photoshop. The video was retimed from 3.5 hours of the original Photoshop editing time to make it easier to watch. Hi-end retouching in not a fast task.

How to “polish” products you photograph in Photoshop, how to make them look better than in real. Our retoucher will show you how to combine multiple images to get a perfect looking product shot. This workshop includes 3.5 hours of a post-production video.
The Bonus:
An additional shot when we created the image above, with bright highlights on the middle of the glossy bottle, right where you would get a reflection form the camera and lens. Alex Koloskov will show you how to avoid such reflections and get the shot right from the camera, before any post-production and photo editing.
