Look, I know that the shag stuff is nice looking, and the mirror is great, but you are missing the point. The point of the photo is to illustrate the product. Take a good look at the catalogs that you have lying around the house; simple does it. Where you do see a complicated product shot, you can be sure that it took days, if not weeks to shoot. There is a photographer, his assistants, an art director, a stylist, or two, an account rep, and maybe even a printer involved. My advice, use a simple paper sweep, one light up front to the side, and some reflector cards to open up the shadows. Take a look at the picture. It's as simple as I could make
