our knowledge and what we can do for you.

And we’ll break it down, show you the lighting,

show you how we make a shot like this work.

And, hopefully you’ll be able to take away something

a better insight to this type of photography

which is often considered quite difficult.

Because liquids, bottles, glass product photography

can be quite a difficult shooting scenario.

But I’m going to break it down into some simple

I’ve got a sheet of black ‘Perspex’ as my base;

sometimes called acrylic, ‘Melamine’, different things.

This is a glossy black plastic, basically.

It’s commonly used in product photography,

a lot of jewelry photography, liquids, bottles.

Here, I’m using it because it gives a beautiful reflection

It’s a very classy look, and classy feel to the product.

which is just putting a light onto the label of the bottle.

You can see the shadow from my fingers there

We’ll come back to that in a little bit more detail shortly.

On the background here, if you come around this side,

because the modeling light is on full power,

on the background just to give us a little bit of

is only going to run the depth of the whiskey bottle,

to make sure the bottle and the label are sharp.

I’m going to keep the glass out of focus.

Now, some other key things on the back here

bits of card—gold foil card—that I’m using,

to bounce the light from my main light sources on this side

I’ve got two, thin, strip-light-type soft boxes.

One of them you can see here at the front

is a little bit further away from my trace,

and the other one is a little bit closer.

is used to diffuse my soft boxes even further,

a really harsh strip-light on the bottle.

and the reason I’ve got two of these lights

is so that I can get one light as an edge light down the bottle,

and one as a general light on the bottle.

we’re going to film through another camera

to allow you to see what each light is doing on the bottle

the lighting set-up that we’ve got here.

We’re also going to film the result of what those reflectors do

that are behind the glass and the whiskey bottle,

so you can appreciate how important they are to the shot.

And we are going to get a really stunning image out of this,

and this set-up will show you how easy it is.

Now, you might be thinking, “Well, actually, I don’t have,

necessarily, this particular type of soft box.

I’m not using fancy studio lighting like this.”

Well, interestingly, these particular soft boxes by Broncolor,

so you can attach a strobe or normal flash gun

to this type of soft box to shine it through.

Oh, there’s one other thing we need to look at.

You’ll see, as well as the two soft boxes here,

this black card is shielding this soft box,

so that I’m not getting any light spill
