Thank you all for the help and info.
I have white white seamless, (plus 15 more colors…) 3 AD300 pro’s. 60”, 44” soft-boxes, side lights and reflectors, and what not. Does are all set up on C stands for portraiture which is being used 2-3 times a day. I don’t want to interrupt that. So I was thinking to set up the Z7ii with that tent/box and see what I get.
The graphics designer asked for a clean photo of the bottle. No reflections or shadows. They will use the image in their graphic for a display ad in a newspaper/magazine, etc.

FedEx should be at my door in 9 hours from now. Lets see. I gotta make my feet wet.

from what I’m hearing, product photography can be done in 2 scenarios.
1) set up a full environment with props, it takes a full day to accomplish and the price is about 2K for such a setup.
2) just a single clean product. For a couple hundred bucks. Those are the kind of jobs professional product photographers are not going after. They like the first scenario. While the second scenario has a void. Let’s see. Will keep you posted.

This is pretty in line with what Ive seen done for bottles. Def not a full day thing, but there is setup and you would have to move your lights. Hope the tent is adequate. Easy couple hundred if so.
