Nashville Photographer Specializing in Commercial Food and Product Photography
Nick Bumgardner is a food, beverage, and product photographer based out of Nashville, TN.
A few months back I got an email from Tasting Panel about a collaboration with Jack Daniel’s and Pearl Diver. It sounded like a fun shoot so I could not pass it up. They needed 3-4 final deliverable images of a cocktail and of the bartender. Lets start with a quick behind the scenes videos and then on to some photos.

Read MoreAn ice-cold glass of cold brew is my favorite way to start the morning. I have had an affinity for nitro cold brew for quite a while and occasionally treat my self to a bottle of it. This is the Lucky Jack Nitro Cold Brew Coffee and it is amazing.

This cake was shot in my home studio. This does not mean that we can’t shoot through. Whether it is food or product I can still accommodate your shoot.

I have always wanted to be able to grow a beard, but I was not blessed with the genes that would allow me to grow a good beard. I recently had a mens grooming company, Man Beast Beard reach out. Man Beast Beard has a full line of Beard Oils and Balms. These are ultra premium mens grooming products. They had a need for simple product images on white and black backgrounds. They wanted there products to look clean, and high end. These photos will live on the Man Beast Beard website and social media pages. The company has some fantastic packaging and branding so this became a really fun job. We even threw in some additional hero styled images for good measure.
Check out the catalog of images that we built below!
We started the shoot with images on a black background. The black background really gives the packaging a rich appearance.
I really love the box design. When you put two boxes next to each other they create a full image.
For e-commerce, it is hard to beat a good crisp image on a white background. It ensures that your product stands off the page. Having crisp lighting really does make the images stand out.
Right now the light and airy look is really popular for product photography. So we used two light surfaces to create a light and airy bathroom feel for this next set of images.
Since we are working with a mens grooming product I thought that a darker and moodier look would work well too. Check it out!
That is how you create an image library! Photos on white, black and on lifestyle backgrounds. These are photos that can be run as Facebook and Instagram ads, can be used on websites, and as web headers. I had a blast createing these images for the client.
