Having done some research into some websites where I might sell my candles, I noticed that there seemed to be a requirement on all of them to present your products using "lifestyle photography", in other words, presenting your candles in a "real life" situation in a controlled setting. In simple terms, dressing up your product other than just taking a quick snap of it with no effort taken at all.
Having never tried this sort of photography, preferring wildlife photography really, I decided to have a go at setting up a little scene with the candles I'm waiting to test, and some bits and pieces I had around the house. I used the natural morning light coming from the back patio doors, some white paper, a red pillar candle I was gifted with some time ago, a plant basket that I've a hyacinth growing in at the moment, and some flowers from a bouquet I had in a vase.
I think I like this one above and the one below the best of the lot
