For this image I used the main light at about head height on the left side of the face. I  pointed the smaller flash towards the right side of the background to try and capture the light on the right side. I think this image worked well and feel that I have gotten close to the  other image. My camera settings were ISO 100, 1/100 shutter speed and f/9.  

For this image I decided to try the black background and I also put a black sheet underneath  the aftershave. I think this worked well as you can see the reflection underneath. The gold label is well suited to the black background. In this image I used the white background. I had the main light on the left and the fill light to the right. To try and eliminate the shadow as much as possible I used a reflector on the back right side of the image. I feel that this image was a little too dark around the top but it is all about trial and error to get the right lighting for your image. I sprayed a bit of water on the bottle for this image for something different and to get a  more advert type picture. I like how this image turned out.  I feel that this went rather well considering it was our first time shooting objects. I took a lot of photos which  I think is key.  

 

  1:1 lighting ratio for this image, f11 on both sides 2:1 ratio for this image f16 and f11

  This is an image with split lighting. The light was shining from the side of the subject. This is the butterfly lighting technique. The light shines from above and in front of the subject facing slightly down. This is an image with Rembrandt lighting. The light is at an angle to the subject  This is loop lighting. The lighting is at a similar angle to Rembrandt however it is higher above. This is broad lighting. The subject is faced at a 45 degree angle to the camera and around 90 to the lighting. 

   

  Image one- created using bounce from behind. It gives an effect as if there is light shining through water. Image two- I chose this image for an image with no shadows in the background  Image three- the subjects face is being lit from the side, emulating window light I like this image as it is well focused and I like the amount of flash has been used and how it illuminates the face.
