Tried to hold jars myself and found it very hard and I even dropped a jar. So I decided to stick tapes on the sides of the jar to secure. Cut the mirrors to put into the jars.
As I only have one speedlite, it took a while to adjust the speedlite to get rid of shadow:
I found it difficult to recognise mirror in the jars so I got closer:
I think that the photos only capture the legs look more natural than the first 2 photos. And as this position is to show being unable to walk so the legs are the emphasis. It makes me think that portraits usually focus on the face with or without upper body, rarely legs. But why not?
I can’t get rid of both the shadow and the reflection on the jar, and I think that the model can try to hold the mirror directly, as it’s the important object, not sure if it’s gonna work though as it’s hard to hold it.
