darryl_roberts1 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hi, What kind of floor mirror is best to use in a studio (one that people will stand on)? Thank you, Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles_Webster Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Usually a sheet of acrylic or polycarbonate plastic is used to create a reflection under a standing person. I've also see it done with a shallow pool of water. What are you trying to accomplish? There are many ways to light a cat, and chances are someone has already done it. <Chas> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darryl_roberts1 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 There are no new shots, everything has been done. I will reflect a floor bound face. No water, it'll be in a very dry studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles_Webster Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 As I said, most people use large sheets of acrylic or polycarbonate. Usually over seamless paper to provide the desired color. If you want really crisp reflections, you need to use a solid color plastic, such as black or white, so there isn't a "second surface" reflection. <Chas> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reneereynolds Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Try a Plexiglas mirror. Its light, won't break, works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
