"Reflection"

[SGirl]

Just a small question!

Does anybody know how to achieve this effect without PSing?






The reflection, I mean. Not the cat.

White table cloth covered with a sheet of glass methinks...

Oh! I never thought of that. Thanks Martin!

Or a mirror, as shown in this super photo that I did take.

Shame about the naf watch though...should have bought a Breitling

He's right for once.

or you could use a sheet of white plexiglass

[SGirl]

Well, I like the watch photo. So there.

The plexiglass idea is a good one too, thanks Scalper.

But - and this is probably a really stupid question now - how to go about lighting the shot without getting visible reflections? Are we talking softbox here, or is there some other trick?

[scalper]

This was on sheet of black plexiglass using a single light shot through a large diffusion panel just above the subject.

No tricks just careful positioning of the softboxes and let the backlights blow out to back light slightly.
