Thank you.

These were all taken on my workbench in the basement that has a twin-tube
fluorescent light over it.   You can see it reflected in the bottles.
All but the first used this as the main light, plus two matte finish
ferrotyping plates as reflectors to brighten the front of the products.
The backdrop was a piece of 8-1/2" x 11" typing paper.  The spot-remover
brush shot was lit with an old $2.00 plastic flashlight that I held over
the spines, bracing my hand on a shoe box.  This flashlight has a focusing
reflector that I spotted to concentrate the light.
