Although I said this is what I wanted to avoid as I think it is very simple, a bit boring and shows the bottles more than the nail varnish inside them. I then took this initial photograph and developed on it by creating different compositions with the bottles and spilling them in different ways to see what different outcomes I could get.
I tried 3 different compositions and with each one I was able to get a variety of different shots. I really like all 3 of the compositions, yet I feel that the last one is the most successful as its more striking due to the colours I have used and there are a few different things happening. I really like the effect I have managed to get in all of the images from spilling the nail varnish. I think this is a nice way to show a product, rather than just having it in the bottle. I feel that some images are more successful than others, but I am going to choose a final image using the last composition. Also within the images you can see the lip of the box I used to put the bottles on, as I did not want to get any of the nail varnish on anything. Therefore with my final outcome I intend to edit it out, and I now know for next time that I need to find something else that's less noticeable.
Below is a rough sketch of the studio set up and the equipment that I used for this shoot.
I again used the light table as I wanted to light both the background and underneath the nail varnish bottles.Using two lights, one underneath the light table and a soft box to my right I was able to create highlights on the bottles which adds to the images. I also sometimes used a reflector or absorber depending on how I wanted the light to shine onto the bottles.
