Does anyone do product shots on dark (black) reflective material that produces good, even reflections?
I'm currently stumped working on a shoot for a local company. I have to shoot some video components on black (easy enough) but I'd like some good natural reflection from the surface they rest on. I've already tried tempered glass over black cloth (velour) but the reflections double up and look god-awful. There's a PS trick for reflections but it's simply too much work for anything but straight on views. All of my shots are oblique angles. This guy had a really good idea: http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/08/on-assignment-shoot-your-shiny-new.html But, there's no way I'm going to find a piece of granite as big as I need it (30" x 48" roughly) and it would be way too expensive in any event. Any suggestions? Thanks ahead of time. -Brendan ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
