The recycled bottle glass pieces at Personal FX Gallery really catch the light when worn, so it’s hard to photograph them and do them justice. Below are some pictures where I tried different methods. In the picture of “Arrow” it’s almost impossible to tell that the brown section is transparent, albeit dark, glass.
A friend gave me a great idea: use a light box below the piece. So, one of these days soon, I’m going to try that with some modifications to see if I can get consistently good glass shots. Compare the picture below to the one in the last post and you can see how much of a difference back lighting makes. The museum putty used to keep the piece upright casts quite a shadow in the bottom of the piece.
