reflective object photography


This was my first attempt at taking pictures of a reflective object. For this photoshoot, I chose a perfume in a silver bottle. Positioning the lights so they wouldn't be reflected in the bottle was tough. I also added the purple gel to the second light source because the perfume itself is purple as well. I also added water drops on the packaging to make the picture more interesting. I like that we can see the name of the product clearly. However, I don't like the reflection of the key light on the right side of the bottle. This picture could be improved by using the reflector and blocking the main light a bit so it can not be seen in the photo. 










Before achieving the best result, I experimented with different setups, angles, and lighting setups. 
However, I didn't like anything before I got the best result I could achieve. For example, in this picture, you can see the reflection of the light, which I didn't like. 
This photo is nice, but I still like the result of using a purple gel more.
