These were just some quickies I did, experimenting with some small products. I'm trying to get photos like the Gordon's Gin photos....
Obviously I need to work on it a bit more. Yes - the photos are blurred and there is camera shake and it was a compact... I was just trying to get the lighting right and didn't have time to set up my tripod and dSLR. So... lighting critique only please...
I'm trying to get the foreground and background black.
I have a piece of black felt which isn't quite black.
I have a piece of very black but shiny card.
I set up with a clamp lamp, a 7w florescent bulb and a chair.
Suggestions for improving the lighting so that the background and foreground are jet black while the subject looks great.
and the setup...
