So I fancied doing this novelty shot for the family album - I know it's been done to death and nothing new, but the other half likes it :) Setup was simply a large softbox as key one side, with an umbrella to fill from the other. Camera was directly over the top on a boom arm which I triggered with my Nikon app. I realised that the key was causing glare on the floor, so I duly angled upwards to feather the floor which reduced it but didn't eliminate. Ended up bouncing from the ceiling, but it's still there as you can see here on the left hand side. So, how would you deal with it?

I rushed it last night Si. I will have a go at it later maybe, I faffed with the face details and didn't have time for the floor. I can lessen it, just couldn't think of a way of eliminating it during the shoot. It's an issue with reflective surfaces.
 
It should be obvious why it happened, and that there's not a lot you could do at the shooting stage to remove it.

So other than the PP advice above, I'd go the whole hog, reshoot the floor without the glare and paste it all back together.

Had thought about reshooting the floor and adding Phil. I shall have a play when I get time next day or so.
