(hint: these are the same principles to follow for lighting any highly reflective object, just scale the lighting tools as needed.)

I can also recommend the book

Light Science and Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting
by Fil Hunter, Steven Biver, Paul Fuqua

It taught me a lot about reflected light and how to use it or remove it.

I shoot with a Camera Obscura with an optical device attached that refracts and transmits light.

Fully recommended. Excellent summary of what I was taught in my training for becoming a licensed professional photographer many moons ago.

Cheers,
Bart
