During this lesson with John, we experimented with shooting glass objects on a white background and then a black background. We concentrated on using studio lighting to make the objects stand out.
This was mine and Andy's set for shooting on a white background. We used a backlight behind the white, a soft box and a deep reflector with barn doors. We put some black tape on the soft box to break up the reflection of the light on the glass. We also used black card around and above the glass so that the black would reflect onto it, making it stand out against the white background.
This was our setup for the black background. We used 2 soft boxes and a glass surface to place the subjects onto. The reflection of the objects on the glass surface works really well against a black background.
You have some very competent images here Holly, think about adding just one item that contrasts with the subject, like a flower or something to add a little colour.
