Gun photography

I would put some sort of white reflector opposite the light source to help brighten it up. Paper, foam, whatever, just white.

Ammo, holsters, etc always make good additions.
 
Light painting is a fun technique! I haven't used it for product photography as I prefer to do detail shots to add texture or interest. I am going to have to give it a try for gun photography! Light painting is an excellent technique for large items like cars, too.

Here's a quick natural light shot I did. Added a little color temp in post. Set up was simply laid rifle on leather couch in front of large window with indirect light.

Here is another type of detail shot that can tell a story. One or the relatively few cell phone shots I will keep for more than social media.

Good range of tones leaving the name brand visible without being overbearing.
