Studio Photography for Richard Hamilton.

The lighting set up was a snoot directly above the subject. Somebody help lift the snoot over the subject while it was laying on a table with a white background all around. I used spot meter on the bottle. In Photoshop I removed the shadow underneath the bottle to give it a lonely feel. I sharpened the image. I find this image a success because I wanted to give the bottle a lonely spotlight feel and this is what I achieved. 

I used two main lights in this photo  at 45 degree angle. In Photoshop I only changed the sharpness of the photo because it wasn't shining enough. I put the lights in this position because I wanted shadow on the right hand side. I found this photo successful because I got the angle and shadow I desired. 

This photo I used two light bulbs to light the background and facing down at angle to fully light the background and five as a main light. Main light used a diffuser which was set at 45 degree to the bottles . Behind the subject I used white paper and sat the subject upon a table. In Photoshop I removed major lighting shines on the left bottle.

On this photo I used a 105mm lens to capture the full detail of the perfume bottle top.

It was lit by using two 500w lights. I the background I used white wallpaper and I also used the shine reflector which was made with a piece of wood with tin foil taped to it.

In Photoshop I used the colour balance to remove a tungsten red colour cast from the photo. I cloned stamped some of the reflections out of the glass bottle itself. 

In this photo I used a 55mm lens to capture the whole bottle and the some of the background. I wanted to also get the background in to show you how really bright and golden the perfume bottle really is. Also one again we used the home made shine reflector. We held the reflector at an angle so the bottle was fully illuminated. We first tried the reflector vertical but cast a black shadow on the bottom of the bottle and I found as I increased the angle with the reflector the shadow diminished. In Photoshop I used the spot healing brush too remove the scratches and dents in the bottle. As always I sharpen the image to give it a crisp feeling. 

In this image I used a 55mm lens to capture the wide spread of the bottles. I used two constant lights on 45 degree angle and a flash gun bounced off an umbrella. Originally the bottle were behind a green coloured paper background, also the bottles were separated too. In Photoshop I firstly made a vibrate green gradient background. Then I lasso tooled the bottles copied and pasted them and moved them together. 

In this photo I done the same exact same thing as the one above I had the two constant lights at a 45 degree angle. I had a white background but that did not matter because I was going to edit it in Photoshop. In Photoshop I replaced the background with a blue gradient and removed the major shine on the bottle. I also use colour balance because it had a tungsten glow on the original photo.
