tracey_c1 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 <p>I'm not sure how to explain this, but I'm hoping someone will know what I'm talking about. I want to get that shiny white, almost reflective, floor for a shoot with a toddler. I've heard someone say it's tile board, but I went to Home Depot and didn't see anything shiny. Any ideas? He's turning one and we thought it'd be fun to shoot him eating a cupcake, but obviously I don't want to get cupcake all over my fabric backdrops and I think the shiny floor I've seen in a lot of photos would be perfect. Any ideas or pics would be great, thanks!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpjoell3 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 <p>Try Lowes! It is a 4'x8' tile board and it cost about $18.00 a piece. You will need two. Overlap the front board over the back board to make it seamless to the camera. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon rennie Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 <p>2 options.<br> 1) as George described<br> 2) plexiglass. Goes overtop of the white seamless on the floor. This will also work with black or any colour if you want the versitility.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug_axford1 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 <p>Denny's sells a white vinyl that is perfect for kid's shots. It is not as shiny as you might want but I think you'll find the super shiny is going to be a PITA for working with both during and after the shoot. If you sign up for their email specials, Denny's puts the white vinyl on sale about once a month at half price.<br> http://www.dennymfg.com/store/index.php?page=shop.browse&option=com_virtuemart&category_id=147&Itemid=26</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_schilling___chicago_ Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 <p>As Jon says, clear plexiglass over any color you'd like will give you the effect.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
