Bevel Trimmer

I recently took a fulltime gig at a skincare and shaving company called Bevel and here is a render of the new electric trimmer we just launched.

I purposefully wanted a little bit of a retro feel and for the image to look like an actual film photo of the product, so I purposefully added in noise, grunge and chromatic aberration in post. Normally this would be a crutch for a poor render but I thought it lended itself nicely to the intended feel of the photo. Hope you like!

Looks extremely photoreal except the glow part that one looks very weird, pretty amazing!

Thanks TerryvFx!

The glow is a light blue power indicator ring light thingy. Well, supposed to be anyways. To me it reads ok but that could just be because i know what it is supposed to be.
Here's a photo of the trimmer that shows that light ring better. In my render, was it not apparent that it was supposed to be a lit up ring? Or could you tell that's what it was intending to be , but you just thought it wasn't really reading as that?

I like the approach!
noticed the blue ring as a lit part, but it needs more saturation and power, so the light is more visible on the wood too.
Wood texture might be a bit big now, because it kind of looks like a really small product now?
As well it needs a bit more dof, like in the photo.
And maybe the upper metal part looks a bit flat. If the upper part is leather, maybe overdo that slightly, as it could be noticed as plastic now as well.
Just some ideas!

really cool, my advice as we do here on the studio use two meshs one not visible with a strong power and other to match the photo then a bit of glare not bloom and blur the rays. give the same result as the picture.

Hope this could help you.

Yes, I understood the glow was part of an indicator but the compositing was a bit strange.
