These are freakin' amazing. Thank you. The label texture takes it to a new level. And whatever you did to the foil on the single barrels was perfect.

We’re not here to 💩 on generalist 3D agencies.

A lot of CPG brands use online 3D studios. When you browse Amazon, more and more products are computer-generated (CGI). They offer great quality and easy declinations… but being great at rendering a realistic vacuum or kids’ toy, doesn’t make you necessarily adept at understanding the intricacies of the alcohol market.

The need for beverage expertise is real.

Alcohol presentation is a complex landscape with various market-specific regulations and challenges. For instance, think of the three-tier system hurdles in North America, regulations in the Scandinavian market, and Chinese exports, to name a few examples.

While generalist 3D studios excel at producing a wide range of images for fast-moving consumer goods, they often lack the finesse required for capturing the nuanced essence of alcoholic beverages.

So our goal isn’t to convince you that Outshinery = good and generalist 3D agencies = bad. We’re just going to share when you might want to use one versus the other.

Keep the industry lingo and get the outcome you want

There once was a time when only big movie studios could afford helicopter shots for their films. Now, anybody with a simple drone can shoot cinematic footage. That's how I feel about these bottle shots. We can now take these wines we've worked so hard on and capture product shots and visuals that would make Apple drool...all thanks to Outshinery.

With an extensive knowledge of the alcohol industry, Outshinery is equipped to meet its unique needs by delivering compelling and highly effective results.

3D generalist studios, without a dedicated focus on alcohol representation, will struggle to fully comprehend its unique requirements. You may find yourself having to "translate" more terms than you would like!

Add efficiency and cost-effectiveness to your day-to-day operations

Outshinery solved the cost and hassle of sending out bottles for shots. Honestly, we were reusing old shots with the wrong vintage year because we didn't want to deal with it year to year. This made it much simpler and we can even get images before we have the wine bottled!

With Outshinery, you can unlock stunning, affordable images through a seamless online process tailored to the needs of your business, big or small.

3D generalist studios often produce standardized, expensive images using methods that may not cater to your specific business needs or regulatory demands.

Where speed meets satisfaction, and quality is guaranteed

Sourcing high-quality bottle shots and lifestyle imagery is a BIG pain point. WineDirect loves to recommend Outshinery because their innovative photography services are easy, and affordable and their work product is outstanding. It’s truly a win-win for everyone: our clients are happy, their websites look great, and they’re able to drive more sales – which is exactly what we want to help them do.

Outshinery firmly believes in delivering both quick and quality results. That's why we promise exceptional images in days and offer unlimited revisions until you're completely happy.

Many generalist studios set restrictions on change requests, leading to hourly fees for extra revisions. This approach increases both time and costs significantly.

Rely on proven experience and expertise

Outshinery creates that hi-res credible 'hero' image that would be impossible to photograph due to printing limitations.

This level of understanding and proficiency can be hard to match by 3D generalist studios that work across various industries.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then Outshinery's product shots are worth millions.
