Project Overview
I partnered with Lume Cube to produce a quick, visually striking product shoot featuring their portable panel lights. This photography experiment was designed to show how compact lighting gear can elevate product photos without the need for expensive studio setups. The subject: a bottle of vodka, captured with dramatic lighting, haze effects, and minimal gear.
Key Features
Used three Lume Cube Panel lights to simulate a full studio look
Lighting setups included color mixing and intensity variation for layered shots
Focus on small space adaptability and minimal gear
Highlighted programmable RGB light features and diffuser swaps
Subtle smoke effects added depth and mood
Challenge
Create professional-level product photos using only compact, affordable tools that could easily be set up in a home or tight space. The lighting needed to be both flattering and flexible, with the ability to shift tones and moods for added variety.
Solution
Using just a trio of Lume Cube Panel lights, I designed a dynamic tabletop set. Each light was angled for contrast and highlight control. The RGB control and diffusion accessories allowed for creative lighting effects—from warm tones to icy gradients. Adding a subtle haze gave the vodka bottle a glowing edge, enhancing the atmosphere without heavy post-processing.
Intersecting Strategy with Design
This project demonstrated how even the simplest gear can produce bold, scroll-stopping visuals when used creatively. Lume Cube’s lighting system proved ideal for any photographer looking to shoot on a budget without sacrificing quality. I plan to use these lights in future product shoots and content creation setups across various styles.
