I have been asked to do some product shots of various christmas hampers ( more or less what is inside the hampers)

Using my own (uninspiring) food, I did a test shot.
I used a 80cm soft box to the left at 45° and and a white umbrella to the right. In this shot, same power setting for flashes

I am looking for critique/tips for the best camera position and lighting.
This was shot at 1/160, f9 at 40mm


Thanks in advance

Your bottles are leaning. Try backing off a bit & use a longer focal length.

Use your 70-200mm.
When I do my bottle shots I am usually in the 100-150mm range depending.

I might also chime in: watch the reflections on the bottles. I've had some trouble with that myself and it's always tricky!


Canon 6D w/MagicLantern, 16-35 f/2.8LII, 100mm f/2.8L, 70-200 f/2.8LII, 300mm f/4L, and a lot of luck
