Gin and Glass

Learning Still Life...

Well done. I like your idea to put the candle behind the bottle, very clever. It doesnt' work so well with the empty glass though, i think i would have left it out and try to light the glass differently through a flash with a CTO gel to warm up the light for instance. The top of your bottle also gets lost in the back drop a bit, you need to provide additional lighting in that area to bring out the bottle and separate it from the background. Your backdrop leaves a bit to be desired, it looks like a crimpled bed sheet which it may be and there is nothing wrong with bed sheet as backdrop but this one doesn't provide an interesting backdrop. I would be worth using either a plain paper or better some textured material backdrop, perhaps a wood table to bring out the warmth of the candle light. I hope you dont mind my constructive criticism. Regards - michel

Nice work!

This is so beautiful. You did a great job. Please teach me how to use window lighting.
