(MORE) MANUFACTURED GOODS

I revisited Unilever Philippines today for a paid photography assignment this afternoon. Since I'm pretty sick of these products, I'm only going to share with you three pictures. (Besides, most of the images I took were of that company's employees and I'm not sure they'd be pleased if I posted their mugs here.)

As you could see, this time around, I had the liberty to take more typical product shots. In contrast to the previous set where we were trying to achieve a more realistic feel (products in a cart, supermarket, shelf, etc.), this group looks much more polished and studied.

To those with a finer eye for detail, you should notice that the colors in this set are different from those of the old one. The reason being, I am now shooting and processing photos using the Adobe RGB color space. Okay, that's enough introduction to this very short addendum.

-- From MARCH 9, 2006 post--

I went to Unilever's headquarters just this morning/early afternoon, and I was surprised at the vastness of their space. Inside a single lot -- that is divided by the Pasig River no less -- is Unilever Philippines' factories and offices.

The reason I was there is I was tasked to take "hi-res photos" of their supply chain (for an all-important wall, not an advert). Crystal was desperate, since the pictures she had taken were overly pixelized.

Here are some of the best ones among the 29 I eventually submitted. Take note that I am not endorsing any of these products. I don't think I'm in any position to do so, anyway, since we hardly use any of them in my household. Still, they make for interesting images, me thinks.
