  Step 1

  first, set up your display

  for a sample I am using books

  I set up my lighting and pulled the dark blue cotton blanket over a table

  I placed the books down

  and snapped them from above

  Step 2

  to create a more dramatic, sweeping look

  photograph your object on the floor

  pull a chair over and drape the blanket over the chair and pull it a bit over the floor

  place your product down and shoot it

  don't be afraid to mess the blankets up a bit, create little folds for a sculpting effect

  [i used a flannel blanket to create this look]

  Step 3

  the super shadow look

  photograph from above, pull the blanket as tight as you can,

  angle one light directly onto the object to create shadow
