Recently we had a photo-shoot for Anisa International, Inc. a leading cosmetic brush design and manufacturing company based in Atlanta, GA.

Anisa Telwar is CEO & Founder of Anisa International. She is Creative entrepreneur who started a small distributorship in 1992 and built it into a successful cosmetic global enterprise. Opened a state-of-the art manufacturing facility in Tianjin, China in 2003. Read more about this talented inspirational woman and see the video interview at Women Are Saving The World Now blog.

It is always a big pleasure and source of inspiration to work with such passionate people like Anisa and the rest of her team.  Their products are well designed, have a great quality and true challenge for the photographer: exactly what we like:-).

The technical article on how we shoot these images can be found on our photographer’s blog: Shooting cosmetic brushes: simple tips to help dealing with chrome finish.
Basically, for the first photo we did the composition of  2 separate shoots: one with  and one without that horizontal handle with brushes. Such solution saved us some time on post-production, plus, gives one more benefit: a focus stacking. Read more how we did it.

It was not easy for Alex and me, because we are not a public people. But it was fun and gave us a great feeling that we did something useful:-) We are really enjoy every photo-session with water, because you never know exactly what will come up: every drop is unique:-) This is a very creative process with a lot of experiments.

Here I’ll show you the final images and a little example of post production that was done. Photography with a water usually requires many hours of retouching because of dust (hard to get clear water, if you work on top of the surfase right?), air bubbles, wire and fishing line for holding the product.
