I am trying to take images of some watches and I am trying to do it so that I don’t have the reflection of the glass. The images are coming out terrible and I don’t know what to do to get them to look like the link below.

The link is a series of images where the glass looks like its not even there.

Any help or tips would be much appreciated.

    Take a piece of paper and bend it over the watch. Ideally you want to have a neutral colored sphere arounf the clock, with only one opening for the camera lens. Try to get as close to this as your background and environment allow, to eleminate all abjects that your clock could reflect. You will need a reasonably strong lightsource (flash) too, because the cover will suck up a lot of light.

    Easiest setup for details: Just take a piece of printing paper (or tape 2 together if you need more space). Bend it over a surface and tape it down, so that you create an arc. Flash or lightsource over the paper. Some nice background behind the arc, watch under the arc, and shoot it through the remaining opening. For larger setups it gets tricky, but diffusing all lightsources will help
