Test Shots for Product Photography

This is one of the first shots I tried, I was really unsure as to what I was doing. I didn't know what to photograph as I wanted something that would challenge me and my skills. These were my first test subjects. I'm not too sure how I like them, I think the photo is too plain. It's hard to figure out what to put with these to make the image better. I don't have much lighting options, I have a lamp with white light and I also have a coloured light but it didn't really go with the products. The light on the products is hard to get rid of as they're all reflective.

This is the second image, I changed the layout and I lay the products down and I think the products look better when like this as to standing them up. Though I still couldn't get the lighting correct again, I think it's definitely better than the picture before. I like how the light is lighting up the brands name "skin ingredients" in the middle bottle. I think that would look good on all of them but I need to figure out how to do it. I will practise more and see if I can achieve the perfect image. I think it is still kind of plain, but I'm unsure what to add to it. I was going to try a bottle of perfume but it was very empty.

I was going in between doing the products above and this product which is a perfume bottle. I was struggling with the bottle so that's why I tried the skincare products. This was my set up for the process.
