To avoid reflections in studio photography from your off-camera flash, you have to first understand the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection. You see, basic physics allows us to position our equipment and our subject in ways that completely prevent the reflection showing up on a reflective surface, regardless of whether that is a human wearing glasses, a dog licking a sheet of acrylic or a wall art product with a glass/metal surface.
This all came about because we released the "How to photograph lick shots in studio" video and literally hundreds of you tried it. 90% of those who tried it really struggled with reflections - hopefully, this will help! If you missed that video, it's here: • How To: Capture Perspe...

Almost exactly what I thought! It’s nice to get some confirmation.

@peterdesmidt8742 2 жыл бұрын

Right, and the same type of thinking can be used to add diffused highlights where you'd like them to be.

Great video! Thank you. I found it challenging when photographing a child with glasses, outdoors. It was shaded, but I had to get him to tilt his head slighty, to avoid reflections. I'm really looking forward to trying the perspex. My dog won't lick it, regardless what I smear on it lolz - she's spoilt 🤣🐕🐾🐶🥰 Thanks again 😊

When we, our photography team, did Easter portraits with not much space to work with we would have those who wear glasses to tilt their face slightly downward. That eliminated the reflection and we didn't have to move the light setup.

Hello always precise, sorry for my bad English. In the photos of dogs with licking on plexiglass the photographer is very close and it is difficult to avoid reflections, even by positioning the lights correctly

@Meth0z Ай бұрын

The only problem I have tho.. is that moving the light also moves my shadows.. it's pretty easy on a flat surface because there's no shadows being cast.. But in a portrait, if I move the light, I'll have moved my shadows and most of the times make the whole thing really light on one side and dark on the other 😢

Hello your video was excellent. I have a Photobox which has the external flash attached to the top, therefore I can’t separate the light from the camera they are always at the same angle. Can I use the same solution point camera and flash at subjects from an angle will it work ?

@daemon1143 2 жыл бұрын

And, don't forget to consider the position of your ambient light; windows, roof bulbs, lamps, or the big ball of fire if you're outside; all these will also give you gyp with reflections if you don't think about their on off status and position when you set up.

This works well for flat surfaces, but what would you suggest for rounded ones where regardless of how you position the light an area of the rounded surface will always reflect toward the camera?

Thank you for sharing this 😊very helpful.. If you don't mind me asking the screen on top of your camera, what are they called? As I have been finding it difficult to photograph some bunnies as Iike to get down to there level to photograph them at eye level using my 50mm lens, would help no ends with my back 😂 and neck.. As I don't like to move too much stuff where the bunnies are and try and contort my body to get the shots..

Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏 The screen on top of the camera is just there to record my screens, I don't use it when I'm not shooting for you guys to see 😊

@@ThatPhotographySpot No worries... Your providing your knowledge for free online its a great thing your doing in a world like we live in today 🌍😊.. Cool so your using your view finder Do you ever use live view? I have seen you have animal eye detection on your camera. I have tried eye detection when shooting rabbits it's very hit and miss like you say. 👁️😉
