Hang Over - Light Painting

Once I had the cover image in the box, I wanted to continue working on the bottles. That's when the peculiar advertising slogans came to mind. In the image below, I used what is probably the best-known Steinhäger advertising slogan from the Schlichte company. “Drink it in moderation – but regularly.” This advertising slogan can still be found on the bottle label today. Another advertising slogan is: “Delicious – comforting – wholesome...” But I found that one boring.
For this photo, however, I used a bottle from the museum distillery with an embossed design below the neck of the bottle. I removed the label beforehand to make room for the light painting. I wrote the slogan on the black wall with the help of a flashlight. I set the camera and lens as described for the cover photo.

• “Schinkenhäger makes you livelier.”
• “Your heart will be happy, your head will be clear – because it was a Schinkenhäger.”
• “Schinkenhäger every day makes you happier, makes you livelier.”
• “You'll always be in a good mood when you drink Schinkenhäger.”
• “Clear and pure, that's important, Schinkenhäger is just right.”
• “You have to drink the one with the ham!”
• “Ask for the one: the Schinkenhäger brand!”
• “The clear one that enlivens.”
• “Honest. Hearty. Mild.”
• “Genuine to our taste.”
• “Genuine Steinhäger.”

For the next picture, I removed the original label and painted a light painting on the bottle instead. I used an acrylic stick attached to a flashlight and a flint.
