Thank you for the insightful reply, Rodolfo. I'll gladly share my setup, however amateur it is, haha.
Lighting the Mushroom
500 watt, 5600K spotlight with diffuser mounted to the barndoors of the lamp.
High key, bounced off white ceiling.
Lighting the Background: (1.5 foot gap between surface top and background)
60 watt Ikea lamp standing upright, adjacent to the backdrop, diffuser placed on top of shade.
Below is my latest experiment. Like the previous photos, I'm pleased with the illumination, and general balance, though I'm displeased with the distracting reflections on the glass. This is most likely a limitation of my minimal lighting scenario, but any suggestions on how I could achieve uniform reflections, and a bit more definition in the liquid (either with additional lamps, or techniques I can apply to my existing equipment) would be greatly appreciated.
Lighting the Glass:
1000 watt, 5600K spotlight with diffuser mounted to the barndoors of the lamp.
Lighting the Background: (1.5 foot gap between surface top and background)
60 watt Ikea lamp pitched on a 35° angle underneath the glass surface, top of shade facing the backdrop (like a cannon).
Thank you for taking an interest in my work!
John
