Product Photography: How-To Photograph a Shiny Glass Bottle

Photographing products can be a challenge, and shooting glass can be even more difficult! In this video I run through my entire process for shooting this very reflective glass lotion bottle, and shed some light on a few tips and tricks that will hopefully make your life easier if you ever shoot something similar.

Awesome break down Jeff!

[@AlexLopez-iy4by]

Thank you for great demo. Nice looking shots.

[@ReadylightMedia]

Thanks for watching!

[@JeahnLaffitte]

Im a sucker for really smooth gradient lighting. But this definitely reinforces my need to start adding intentional hard gloss reflections in my shots. Great setup and great presentation, man! 👏

[@ReadylightMedia]

Thanks! Yea I’m a sucker for soft lines and gradients, but they wanted that super glossy look for this bottle so I went hard in that direction (pun intended 😜)

[@JeahnLaffitte]

@@ReadylightMedia 😂 nailed it

[@Vimalvadoliya]

Which camera model ??

[@ReadylightMedia]

I’m pretty sure I was using a canon r5 when I shot this

[@giorgos7six]

For starting to practice my shooting skills, can this setup/shooting be done using my Nikon D7000 and an alternative to CaptureOne software, thats free?

[@ReadylightMedia]

Absolutely, the camera itself doesn’t really make a difference, and you don’t even need to use a tether program if you don’t have one. It’s just makes it easier to see when making small adjustments

[@giorgos7six]

Yeah I understand what you mean, but when being a perfectionist there’s always the tendency to have it all under control, "this and that" have to be manipulated in a certain manner even if it’s not really needed 😂
