Hi I had a photo shoot this past saturday all day long over 400 raw images I had to process so my problem was...
What do you guys do when you have to shoot framed paintings? Good thing it was only 5 framed paintings but no matter what I did I got reflections on some pictures.
The rest of the shoot was a breeze but geese those raw files too forver to process.
I used flashes, then some lighting which was behind me then lighting on the sides of the painting. I really tried several different ways for the lighting. Still nothing worked, but the client was ok ith me shooting it again I would just have remove the frame later.
I have, in the past, taken framed images into low light areas where there are no reflections off the glass. With my camera on a tripod, I used a long exposure time (sometimes 20 to 30 seconds) in order to get a good picture. With some post-processing work in Photoshop, you cannot tell that the pics were framed or that they were even printed photos. (I've only done framed, B&W pics).
well if you use flashes, try to use a big soft box.. frontal if
you can i think that can reduce reflections
ok thanks alot I will try that also

If you have the time, maybe practice at home with a framed picture to figure out a good setup that works for you and then try and replicate that at the place where you are taking the photos. Good luck :)
