Background Setup:
- Materials: I used sheets of colored paper to create the background. I chose colors that would complement the drinks and make them stand out.

- Stabilization: To keep the vertical background in place, I used a sewing machine as a support. This helped prevent the background from falling or shifting during the shoot.
Lighting:

Shooting Surface:
- Base Paper: I placed another sheet of colored paper on the table to serve as the base for the drinks. This created a cohesive look with the background and provided a clean surface for the products.

Positioning the Drinks:
- Central Placement: I positioned the drinks centrally on the base paper, ensuring they were the main focus of each shot.
