Over the span of a few weeks, I photographed this bottle in half a dozen ways. For the session in Figure 13.1, I was trying to emulate the blue crystal meth from Breaking Bad, because I was shooting it the week of the series finale. Spanning two chairs with a 2x4-foot sheet of glass gave me a transparent platform to work on. I first tried using shards of ice around the bottle, but they kept looking cloudy, so I switched to fragments of broken glass instead. On the glass top, I positioned bare-bulb flashes on either side of the bottle. I then placed a piece of blue cardboard on the floor below the glass. Aiming the two lights down into the board allowed the light to catch the edges of the glass shards as well as illuminate the bottle from the ground up (Figure 13.2).
