Reflective Table Surfaces
Use matte table coverings, work with angled lighting, or apply gels to lights to soften the reflections.
Specular Reflections on Shiny Surfaces
Use polarizing filters, adjust the angle of the shot, or use diffused lighting.
Unwanted Reflections in Silverware
Choose brushed or matte silverware, utilize flagging techniques to control light, or reposition the silverware.
Metallic Utensil Highlights
Position lights diffusely, use flags to block direct reflections, or opt for utensils with a brushed finish.
Direct Flash Reflection
Use off-camera flash, bounce the flash off ceilings or walls, or diffuse the flash with a softbox or diffuser.
Glassware Glare
Apply anti-reflective sprays, change lighting setup, or use gobos to block unwanted light.
Oily Food Reflections
Blot excess oil, use a lower angle of light, or employ matte-finish sprays or powders on foods.
Shadows from Studio Lighting
Utilize reflectors or white bounce cards to fill in shadows, adjust light softness, and the angle of incidence.
Strong Highlights on Fruits and Vegetables
Diffuse the light, mist the produce with water, or adjust exposure to balance highlight detail.
Condensation on Glassware
Control room temperature, apply a glycerin-water solution for a stable look, or photoshop post-shooting.
