A lacquer door is a mirror
High-gloss furniture reflects whatever stands in front of it. In this studio frame the three white doors show the camera on its tripod, a softbox and the stripes of a window blind. There are fingerprints on the lacquer, dust on the top, and a light stand at the left edge.
Who uses this
- Furniture photographers shooting catalog sets
- Furniture brands and makers preparing listing images
- Retailers who need a consistent look across suppliers
How the edit is handled
A human editor replaces the reflections with smooth, soft gradient highlights, so the doors still read as white lacquer and not as flat paint.
Fingerprints, smears and dust are removed, the background is evened, the floor seam and the stand are taken out. The knobs, door gaps and oak legs are kept sharp.
What to upload
Send the frame. If you shot a second frame with a large white card in front of the piece, include it: it gives a real clean highlight to work from. If we use the highlight from that frame in the finished image, it counts as a photo to edit too, so 1 more credit. A frame we only look at is free.
