Reflective backgrounds are awesome

26-02-2026/in blog, Visions and technique, Webinars and instructional videos/by Frank Doorhof

Anything can be used as a background, but some are better

I love to experiment with backgrounds.
Of course, you can create something with AI, but where is the fun in that?
Plus, it never looks 100% convincing if you follow the lights in more complex setups. (yes it’s getting scary good, I know).

There are many websites where you can get cheap materials that can be used in your photography.
When I saw this material, I immediately knew this was going to be fun: a reflective background made from tiles with tiny mirrors.

Today, in a Digital Class tutorial, I show you how I shot this one, and more.
