How to use this tool

What it does

Reflection is a copy of the product shifted below; strip lights draw matching edge lines in reflection plane. Flags darken parts of reflection band.

When to use it

Headphones, bottles, tech heroes, cosmetics on black glass look.

What to look for in the photo

Mirror product copy; strip lines continue in reflection; dust/scratches huge if not polished.

Placement basics

Polish acrylic; camera locked on tripod. Strips define edges in real object + reflection simultaneously. Black flag under acrylic shapes reflection fade.

Distance & power

Reflection brightness follows real object exposure — flags often matter more than power changes.

Common mistake

Dirty acrylic — looks like damaged product. Fix: alcohol wipe between every variation.

Pro tip

Tape product to acrylic if knock risk — reflection alignment stays perfect.

Practice on set

  1. Strip edges on product only.
  2. Add reflection flag under acrylic.
  3. Check symmetry left/right strips in reflection.
