Sprite Setup
A variation on a setup I use often, but with a few tweaks to cater for the material of the bottle, which being plastic, acts in a different way to glass.
This setup shot is taken from a slightly lower angle as will be obvious from the black background behind the bottle.
There are 3 x 20W CFL lamps used in this setup, all fitted into Pringles tube reflectors to enhance and direct the light.
The first is located behind the black card and is illuminating the white background, approx 6inches/150mm behind.
The other 2 are in view and located each side. They are placed behind semi opaque polythene box files opened into a V shape to be freestanding. Light is prevented from spilling to the rear by a couple of black cards, which dont really show here.
Also, to soften the light further on the bottle side, sheets of white printer paper are clipped onto the screens.
Guess I had beter also mention the way the bottle is held at an angle, it looked a bit boring stood upright :)
A strip of paper was wrapped around the bottle and the two ends held quite tightly with a sprung clip. This created a sort of tripod, which also allowed the bottle to rotate, to get the most pleasing angle.
One thing not shown here, is that I held a sheet of white card above the bottle to reflect light back onto the top of the cap to bring out the white printing.
