glass/reflective objects

I wanted to carry on the theme of using objects that had sentimental value to me, this meant I wanted to create a similar effect using natural light , artificial light and studio lights. We had to ensure our final outcome consisted of 4 images , two studio ones with different light setups one artificial light source and one with a natural light source. The object I choose was a crystal horse from which I had as  part of a collection as a child, some marbles from when I was a child and we also had to use a perfume bottle which Andy gave us for practice.As a group , me , Adam , Tom and Jardine decided to use natural and artificial light sources first and then come back to the studio. Here are my Natural light source images un edited.
Here are my favourite images before and after they have been edited.






I changed the saturation and brightness to make the colours stand out more and to make the shadows stand out more. My favourite image is the third one , I really like the bouccar effect . 




We also had to use artificial lighting , I didn't manage to find much artificial lighting that worked well with my perfume bottle i got given from andy, but I found one source of artificial lighting in the entrance of the university from the ceilings, I found a blue material stool and placed the blue bottle on that to get the lighting from the ceiling, here was the outcome. 



Its not one of my favourite photographs but I did tried to find lighting which would be subtle and work well with the object and I feel that this does. After using natural and artificial lighting I then went into the studio and experimented with different lighting.
