This visual research by Marcel Christ employs this back lighting technique which produces the glowing displacement from the bottle i've looked at previously, making them desirable items as aforementioned, but within them there is a sleak and soft dark outline around the shape of the bottle which compliments the highlighted centre of the image and accentuates it, specifically in the Morgan Spiced product commercial. Use of Blurring and light trails, captured through long exposures, makes the products appear exciting and also accentuates the highlighted central glowing displacement further so the desire and wanting for the viewer to want the products has also risen, I will experiment with similar techniques and ideas from this visual research and combine it with what I have noted from analysis of my previous shoot for my final product commercial shoot.

Musilek

Lighting set-up from Still Life and Special Effects Photography Book

The lighting set-up exampled above is the technique I will employ in order to achieve a background lighting similar to that of Musilek's through the use of a fitler gel on a soft box and a snoot fixture, being the white light, in order to spot light and highlight the drink, making it appear closer and achievable to the viewer, as well as a desirable item to the viewer.
