Lighting glass for photography requires an understanding of how this unique material transmits, refracts, reflects, and distorts light. With an understanding of these optical properties, we can reveal detail by exploiting the ways glass interacts optically with its surroundings in a carefully controlled lighting environment. In other words, photographing a glass object is really a process of capturing what it looks like as it interacts with its environment rather than merely lighting the object directly. In this talk, various photographic setups and approaches will be described and demonstrated, with an emphasis on lighting principles that can be put to use with a variety of equipment and materials, including DIY and inexpensive solutions.
