I have been asked to take 13 photos of a old mans tapestry.. Sounds ok so far. Just come back from his house as all the shots had refletions in them. " shooting framed work behind glass. " So I have brought all the items back to mine to try and get some decent shots in my studio.

ANY thoughts on the best way to shoot these type of shots would be gratfully recived.

Here is one of his works.

Couple of thoughts... Can the glass be removed? The other is to put non-reflective glass in front of them. Not sure if this would still work with standard reflecting glass behind, but worth looking into I'd say.

Be interested to see what other suggestions come up. :)

Thanks for the help matey..I have finished shooting them now. Came out well really. Not the best thing to do in a oap's bungalow..

But worked out ok in my studio. Just need to take all the frames back and put them back on the wall lol

I dont have a polarising filter..

absolutely brilliant....did you take the glass out or use some cross lighting
 
Make sure all light sources far enough to the side to eliminate direct reflection?

edit: oh, you're done. Not quick enough. How did you do it?
 
Cheers guys I shot them in my studio/ garage I just made sure that there was a black wall behind me so the camera and tripod never showed up in the reflection of the glass.


I just used the stip lights on the ceiling and a 2 sec / 4 sec shutter.
