In the first video I show you the composition in more detail, moving the camera around the reflections so that you can see how much of a feature they can be within a still life.
The pottery vinegar pot has a glossy finish and the items I’ve chosen are sitting on a wooden table which has a piece of glass on top to create the reflections. If you don’t have a shiny surface or glass topped table then you could temporarily use a fridge shelf perhaps just to try out this exercise.
