What program are you using to edit?

Hi,

I recently shot a TV ad for a grocery store chain. I found it really difficult to get rid of the reflections of my kino lights in the bottles of Coca Cola and Sprite etc. I used my polarisers but it only killed the reflections slightly. Had to just fix it in post which was fine. Am keen to know if there is a way around this. Any suggestions going forward?

Hi guys,

Thanks for the responses. I’m actually referring to both speculative highlights and reflections. Unfortunately I need to light both the product itself and also make the background look like it’s a summers day. So the two need to be accomplished.

I’ve attached an image of another shot I lit for the same client and same product. Any advice on how you would have lit this would be great.

Kind regards,

Richard
