Perfume Bottle

[Asher Kelman]

Hello Asher,
I think the fluid is level but the rest of the image is not. I adjusted the camera angle compensating for the bottom, forgetting the level of the liquid.

At this point I'm trying to get into a habit of understanding objects with regards to their contexts and their commercial selling points. Thus using photography to create a commercial image and later put it into my 'commercial' portfolio.

This is a very deliberate effort to be a 'different' person. So far in all my endeavours I've simply enjoyed the experience of doing things unmindful of the need to make it commercially viable. So even in business, with everything sold before getting completed, I ran into some major losses. My buyers still call me, lamenting the fact that I shut it down.

Now, I wish to 'sell', my photography, my paintings etc.

I know, I know, I'm trying too hard, but the age of innocence is over.

Prateek,

I learned photography by "doing photography" for fun and then "an end purpose". Still, I studied a book on whatever I would attempt and found someone to work with. If you want to shoot such things as perfume and jewelry, volunteer as an assistant for the best photographer in your area. If you are working full time in another job, you can't do that, but still might be able to help them on weekends. You need to find the right person and then get any gear you need second hand. Try not to spend real money.
