The set up:

The project objective: Take something small, make it look large, use one light, and anything I have available at home.   (Shampoo bottle is a travel sized bottle approximately 3.5")

How do you take something small and make it look large?  Answer: Dramatic lighting, lower POV for shot, portrait and elongate with lines.  

Lighting: Used black construction paper and hair tie to turn make snood (angled up toward subject to elongate light) and focus light on item and create more dramatic shadow to elongate bottle.  Used plastic folder to diffuse the light.  Used two compact mirrors for side kick lights.  Also, angled side mirrors to create light rays to focus on center image.  

Backdrop: 8.5 x 11 inch piece of paper laid against the wall. 

Things I would fix: Increase amount of light and lower the apperature to increase depth of field.  Use a tripod. 

Special thanks to Christine for the construction paper and mirrors.
