"sexy little things" from victoria's secret.

so...what i'm finding with these perfume bottles is that no matter how intricate and beautiful a bottle is, you have to like it pretty much right away. which translates to your brain cranking ideas how to shoot and present it. sometimes, the smell deters me from liking it, and sometimes the bottle just doesn't appeal to me at all while everyone raves about how pretty it looks.

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are genuinely appreciated.

I think you are right that the smell would be a huge component for the photographer but funny how it matters not at all to those who see the picture. I like how you have this laid out yet I keep wanting to pull back and see the whole bottle and feeling frustrated

Cool edit. What is that bulb thing with the tassel?

@bill_fe - it's called an atomizer. you squeeze the thingie and the perfume comes out of the nozzle.

Though not allergic to them, I hate most perfume smells. But love looking at the bottles. The swirls came out great in this. I don't mind not seeing the bottle -- they say it's sexier when you leave something to the imagination.
