The photograph on the left was made by sitting the bottle on our light table which was lit underneath with a small soft box. From behind and at the background curve another small soft box used. A matt silver reflector was placed above and to the front of the bottle to light the top of the wooden plug. By placing the bottle on a black piece of foam core and another piece used for a background, we were able to create another version with a black ground and background. The expose was increased by a full stop.

The pencil sharpener with lit with a single small soft box to the left and was set on a 4x8 sheet piece of grey Formica that was placed on top of the light box set up.

The four images I used as layers to achieve the final image above. The upper left image was out of alignment and I used Edit Auto-Align in photoshop to get it to work. I changed the shape of the black reflection in top right image by masking out the sharp edge and replace it with the image from the top left.
