The exact brief that produced the image above.
Studio product photograph filling the frame, a matte black aluminium water bottle with a knurled steel cap standing on a wet slate slab. Two hard strip lights rake both edges, producing a narrow bright specular streak down each side and a dark core through the centre of the body. Deep charcoal seamless backdrop with gentle falloff to near black at the edges. Tight contact shadow plus a soft mirrored reflection in the wet slate. Shallow depth of field, 100mm macro perspective, extremely sharp edge on the cap knurling, no props, no text overlay, very high contrast.
