Green Never Looked so Good!!!
Last week I was able to shoot some promo for a well known dispensary here in the USA... Honestly being allowed inside of a dispo with a camera is a feat in of itself as even tho it may be locally / state wise legal for either medical or recreational, our federal government still deems it an illegal controlled substance. That is why most dispos do not allow photos.
Eryka Badu actually had a promo visit to the Orlando location last week and she has her own strain of Marijuana .. These were lead up content builders for promotional purposes.
I think I nailed product photography in this set!!!

This particular dispo had a weed bar. basically its a table of sorts where there are specialized containers for customers to inspect the Marijuana before purchase. I will admit I have an affliction for smell and have to legit smell them all. It's not a bad thing, they all smell amazing!

This has to be one of my favorite shots from this session. It's compositionally perfect in my opinion. I used the Golden Ratio opposed to the standard "Rule of 3rds" and I used multiple layers of depth to tie it together.

If you haven't noticed I am using my 35mm prime lens here for this session and my prime is actually manual focus. Good thing I have great eye sight lol..

I was also very blessed the lighting was decent inside of the facility as I did not bring in my flash. I normally do not shoot with flash to be honest, even inside and studio. I'm pretty confident with my exposure triangle.

Have you ever been to a dispensary? Do you smoke for rec or medical purposes? We have medical legal here but rec is on our 2024 ballot and I am hoping it gets passed!!!
THANKS FOR VIEWING
