Default Product photography: How to take this picture?

http://oi42.tinypic.com/jj4lyp.jpg

How would I take a photo close to what I have pictured here? A black, clean background with a nice reflection. Any help will be appreciated. Certain lamps? Tabletops?

The nice reflection comes from plexi glass. Other than that, it's most likely shot RAW, with lights lighting up the shoes and then the exposure dropped on the rest.

I removed the [IMG] tags because I suspect that it's not your image & IMAGE POSTING RULES don't allow you to post an image that's not yours without permission & proper attribution.

Here's one way to do it. You could substitute white 30" X 40" art board for the diffusion panels & put the light on them. Studio product photography tips&tricks: Shooting glassware on black background.
