'Dealing with Reflections on Silverware | A Food Photography Tutorial'

05:59 Jan 6, 2022
'Shiny/reflective props are annoying, but they also forced me to look closely at the nature of a reflection. When your food photography props are very reflective, it can be frustrating because they can often reflect unwanted and distracting elements in your photos. In this video, I discuss why reflections are the way they are and some ways I\'ve learned to deal with them.  This isn\'t an exhaustive analysis on the physics of reflections nor do I claim to be an expert on this, but the behavior of light is without a doubt the most fascinating aspect of photography for me and I simply want to share what I learn. Hopefully what I find, helps you make informative problem-solving decisions when dealing with annoying reflections in your photography.
