Review on Silver Mirror Board Sheets for Arts and Crafts | 8.5 x 11 Inches | 10-Pack by Hygloss Products by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent reflectors for product photography, if.

Like the other reviewer, I bought these to use as photographic reflectors when photographing small items. They cast a fair amount of light and set nice highlights. I have also used them as a surface for shooting jewelry. However, the "boards" need to be attached to something else before use, and they need something to help them stand on their own. I first installed Hygloss mirror panels on Just Stick-It! self-adhesive foam mounting plates. I then attached the self-adhesive backs of the Lineco Single Wing Easel to the non-reflective side of the boards. This sets them up at a slightly slanted angle, which suits me. I'd love to find boards already prepared this way, but haven't been able to find them except as part of a larger set. I also made some black and some white reflective cards to help me photograph the desktop products.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very expensive
