Portrait photographers do not use under 100 mm (reduced to 35 mm sensor size) otherwise the nose is too big. Your apparent BG size must be only slightly bigger than the apparent object size. Beware overexposure at the edges of the object! Shoot as RAW to have room for corrections. | |

I believe the glare is coming from the two strip boxes positioned in front of the object at an angle, which produces the two vertical strips across the object. I currently only have a 18-55mm zoom lens and a 16mm prime lens. Looking to buy either the 56mm f1.4 prime or lens or the 80mm macro lens. The further I am from the object does that reduce glare and give a greater foreground to background separation? | |

It's time to find good placements and angular positions for them to move the glare out of the labels. With 150 mm lens you can go a bit further and still get the target in a big size. The Background should be further away to get sharper silhouette. | |

One is a 40 inch softbox positioned behind the subject and used to produce the white background, the other 2 are strip boxes with a grid used to light the foreground object. Here's a picture of my setup: i.imgur.com/fu0a1tI.jpg | |
