White Glass

Lighting Glass on a white background
When lighting glass there are several steps required to gain the proper lighting. The first step consists of setting up a seamless backdrop and draping the material over a table top surface. After situating your work space, the proper lighting is required to accent the edges of the glass.
Add a 500w light to either side of the glass, directing it towards the seamless background and situate your glass upon a clear surface - with white support underneath on each side of the clear surface. A diffuser can be used on the lights to soften the shadows, and create a gradient within the shot.
