UV... more glass lighting

[minicoop1985]

Alright, I took some advice with what I have available. I flagged the sides with black posterboard and lit it with my strobe at 45* BEHIND the bottle, speedlight at the background (which I held back with a chair to create that gradient-just playing with it), and a handheld reflector. There's a little gradient, but that was intentional and can easily be scrapped in future renditions if it doesn't help (I think it adds a little dynamic, but that's me). How did I do? What can I do better? Thanks in advance, everyone!

10000000000000x better!! Very nice. I'm no product photog so I can't offer any opinions at this point other than... I'd drink it

Nicely done; now up the ante a bit by creating a product scene; add a glass, some fruit, ice, etc.

The bottle is quite simple, i'd go for a simple dirty martini and try to pull the red in the olive(s) with the red on the bottle

Thanks, gentlemen! Now how on earth do you guys get those perfect ice cubes? I need to find a better tray. Next time, I'm trying something a little more low key, I think, with a black background and white cards instead of black ones to see what happens. And add the nice "drink" in there. Maybe on fire.

Well, that makes sense, then! Thanks, John.
