My camera was set at ISO: 400 and at the widest aperture which changed on my focal length but was around 3.5 and 5.6. The camera was also set to Av so that the shutter speed was set automatically.

A top light has been used for this image. It has brought out the writing on the lid and has caused a nice reflection from the bottle.


A top and bottom light has been used for this image. This has made the image brighter but the writing isn't as prominent.


A bottom light has been used for this image making the image look like a silhouette.


A back light and a bottom light have been used for this image which has made the image look dull and the writing has disappeared off the lid.


A side light at 45 degrees has been used for this image. The image looks quite dull and a shadow has been caused. This isn't the best lighting to use for the glass as it isn't very flattering.


A bottom light and a top light were used for an image and a black card was used to block out the light on the lid. This has brought out the writing a bit more but the image is still quite dull.


This image was taken using natural lighting. It has made the bottle look like a silhouette but has brought out nice reflections from the bottle.
After being shown these ways of lighting the glass bottle, we were asked to place a perfume/aftershave bottle in different places with different types of lighting.

The first place we photographed the bottle was on the floor next to the lift. We chose here because two types of lighting were used, window and sodium lighting. I like how the floor looks textured and the light is being reflected back off the lift.

Another place we tried was underneath some direct sodium light. I like how the light has been reflected off the lift.

The final image I took was taken in the studio using a bottom light, a top light and a reflector at one side.
