A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Gift ideas to better product pics (alien.top)

My parents are big into reselling stuff from like a garage sale as a hobby and I need some gift ideas for them taking pictures of items, right now they have a mannequin, a backdrop, and a ring light and that’s about it, a problem I know my mom has is that the framed pictures she try’s taking pictures of have a big glare in them and I was thinking like maybe a 1 way mirror or something similar might work but I have no clue, I’ve also seen those mirror dome things and that’s what gave me the idea but they are too expensive, any ideas?

Not sure about how to use this as a gift, but I can tell you the way to photograph artwork, it's called "copy stand lighting" this discussion thread shows some setups https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/copy-stand-lighting.181663/

Could be as simple as a couple of gooseneck lamps.
