So, this is out weekly hangout. (the rest of them are here: Studio Photography Insights)

In general, dealing with the shiny subjects is the most challenging task for a product photographer. Learn how to shoot chrome, silver and other shiny stuff and the rest will become trivial task So, have a seat and get ready to watch and learn. One note though: watching alone won’t be enough to learn this stuff, you’ll need to try to shoot stuff yourself.
