Hello I have a product of a liquid gel hand sanitizer, what would be a good set-up to get a shot similar to this?
How to keep the liquid gel recognizable and clear without everything looking white?
thanks :)
Answer
Any material that is transparent such as glass, water, booze, Jello™, plastics, (and air bubbles) etc. have two basic lighting methods for display.
Dark-line technique which uses a light background to produce dark edges or
White-line technique which uses a dark background to produce light edges.
The iStock photo uses the dark line lighting technique that allows the background to show through the product and container. Bubbles have been introduced to show that there is a product in the container.
A well-illustrated comparison of the two lighting techniques is described with diagrams and photos of the result with additional variations.

Controlling your exposure will determine the amount of detail in the highlights to keep them clean but without blowing them out.
Good Stuff.
