Does such a thing exist?

[JimHalpert]

Hey all, have a product idea that I want to test. What I need is the same looking water bottle but in different settings. By different settings I mean in different environments eg. one with the water bottle against a white background, another with a lady drinking from the water bottle and perhaps another showing the back of the water bottle.

I intend to then get someone to photoshop the logo onto it.

I tried typing "water bottle set stock photo" into google but couldn't similar water bottle pictures.

How should I go about approaching this issue?

Edit 1: Is it better to get someone from the marketplace to render 3d images with the logo? If so, how much does this cost?
Edit 2: To make it clearer what I meant by different setting.

Thank you.

What do you mean by different settings?

What do you mean by different settings?

Hey thanks for asking this, I realized what I said wasn't clear. By different settings I mean in different environments eg. water bottle on the chair. Another is water bottle held by a girl. Another is the water bottle actually being drunk by kids.

I think I get what you're asking. You'd have to search for stock photos of blank water bottles in different situations (getting drank etc). Then photoshop on.

If you find someone really good they could probably photoshop the entire logo on any water bottle 'scene'.

If you can't find anything, I once had some friends pose in a blank hat and just cropped my logo on a long long long time ago haha. Little bit more cost effective but more tedious to organize. You could do the same with water bottles

Hey dude, thanks for the reply. But the issue here is that the product does not yet exist. So I can't get friends to pose with it and photoshop my logo on haha. But thanks for the idea, would keep it in mine.

Imo if you want still pictures with the same water bottle and logo, it's easy to do I.e., if you know Photoshop.
You can find stock photos on Shutterstock gettyimages and various other stock images, you can download them for free from here - dont.co.in

Get a water bottle stock photo, add logo, get images of a girl drinking water, swap the water bottle in the girl's hand with your bottle. Just some photoshop circus.

Or else you ask someone to do it ok Fiverr, if you've got some money to spend for 'better' quality.

Or else, get the sample bottle yourself, make a logo design, print it and stick it to the bottle. And shoot your own images, you get the desired output and also avoid copyrights in future.
You can also check out some videos which show how big brands take photographs to make them look more appealing.

Oh I get it so when you say waterbottle, it's not like a regular waterbottle it's your new product thing?

Yeap you are right, it is my new water bottle product idea.

Hey thanks for the response. Let me go explore this too. So you are saying all I need is ONE water bottle image? And someone with good photoshop skills can edit it into whatever scene I want?

Always thought a photoshop person needs at least several angles of the same product to weave his magic.

YES

Always thought a photoshop person needs at least several angles of the same product to weave his magic.

A person isn't a photoshop person if he needs different angles to create something.

As for the 'Product is not ready yet', can't you get a prototype?
If your product is a water bottle, you have to get the empty water bottles from a manufacturer. You either get to select from existing prototypes or if you have a good design you ask him to mould the bottle into that shape, but a manufacturer probably isn't going to accept your design unless you give him a HUGE MoQ.

So why don't you get some samples from a manufacturing company and use them instead? It's only a call away.

Hey dude, many thanks for the detailed reply. What you are saying has got me thinking. Can you please help me out with these questions.

1. Seems like you have experience in prototyping. So do you know how to find manufacturers that will do such prototyping services? Just Google and start calling or is there a directory?

2. When you mentioned samples in your post, am I right to say that these samples would be for existing prototypes of the manufacturer only?

3. Since new prototypes will only be produced for huge MOQ, are there services that specialise in producing new prototypes without the MOQ? I can imagine reaching out to 3d printing companies on this.

Many thanks!

The hardest part is finding the *same* object in different angles. Photoshopping them is the easiest part.

I've been using freepik .com lately and I'm impressed at the number of items they have and it's free/cheap.

My man, sounds like you have some success in locating the *same* object. Any ideas to share on how you went about finding them? Thanks.

1. Yep, google out their contact numbers and start calling them. To get a better idea aask the experst, i.e the manufacturers, tell them about your product idea and they might give you some more information too.

2. Yes. The manufacturer obviously has only the samples of the products which he can produce. He wouldn't have a sample of Lamborghini if he manufactures Honda.

3. Get on your phone and start calling, people on the internet like me have no idea of the manufacturers in your country. And don't settle on one manufacturer, call a lot of them and get opinions from everywhere.

Not sure if you know what a you talking about (are you high?)
No manufacturer is going to get into any bottle project if you are not talking of hundreds of thousands to millions production.
For this they need to make a mold (of your special bottle) and this are expensive.
The only alternative you have is to use a bottle model that already exists.
On the image side, you can render any 2d sillouette (your bottle) into a 3d object in illustrator with its logo and fake it into any image scene using photoshop.

Thanks for the reply. For such services, I believe they are in the bhw marketplace? What are the keywords I should be mentioning when asking the seller for quotes - 3d rendering of 2d image?
