Within our 'Systems & Processes' brief we are required to light a bottle using the following studio light modifiers; soft-box, beauty dish, honeycomb and umbrella.
Taking into consideration that glass bottles are best photographed with light shining from below, I first positioned a large soft box below the opaque white table and positioned another soft box at a 45/45 degree angle.
Although the bottle has overall been well lit, what is most annoying are the reflections of the soft box modifier in the photograph. A job for digital manipulation I think . . . especially as throughout the shoot it hadn't occurred to me, "Why am I using flash whilst photographing a highly reflective surface?" Definitely a brown disguised 'blond' error at that time!
So further more I continued to photograph the glass bottle with the added mistake of allowing the 45/45 degree soft box modifier to flash whilst I was taking the shot and below are the photographic results with the other modifiers advised below - which where positioned behind and above the bottle ;
