Karl Taylor is one of the best photographer's I have ever seen. (check out his work at www.karltaylorphotography.com) I'm signed up to receive his newsletters via email and today I finally got a chance to take a look at the professional shoot he did of a whiskey bottle and glass. He went into detail of how he got the shot and it inspired me to play around with some basic lighting at home.
The shots below were accomplished with a standard Better Homes & Garden living room lamp, a Halogen Desk Lamp from Walmart, one of Joe's flashlights with wax paper and Tin Foil.
Yes, just call me the "Redneck Photographer"
