Greetings from the Critique Club
sorry, I'm not one of the great studio photographers on this site, but I will tell you that the lighting seems off. You mentioned that you had to brighten it while converting. You'll get better results if it is bright enough in camera. This usually means lighting it brightly, but don't use a flash. That causes a direct light with no shadows, and glass items like these will reflect it back (unless you have an external flash that you can bounce off the ceiling).
Another possibility is to mount the camera on a tripod and use a long exposure. Sometimes this creates interesting effects, but I don't think it would work for a standard product shot like this. Also, when using indoor light, you sometimes have to correct the color. This coloring seems too yellow. You can correct color in Photoshop with color balance, hue/saturation, channel mixer or other tools, or better yet with a photo filter if you have it.
Once you handle lighting problems, you might want to give a thought to background. This folded cloth is pleasant to look at and better than a blank background, but still doesn't add anything to the story of the photo. The story is the background, i.e. how did this food get here? who is it for? what is it trying to achieve? Simply putting these things on a bed would tell a story, for example.
Well, that gives you a couple of important things to think about, anyway. Good luck in future challenges! |
