Reflective Surface

[Olgale]

Hi
I saw many photos - especially with small kids - where the surface beneath the model is reflective. what kind of "material" is being used - is it plexiglass?
I found one online http://www.backdropoutlet.com/prodinfo.asp?number=AB112 but not sure if this is what being used usualy.

plexiglass, perspex whatever you want to call it

Have a look here as Zack Arias is a US photographer and he mentions 'tile board' something we don't seem to have in the UK.

wow!! thanks for the tip - I am off to Home Depot. that looks really neat The only hesitation I have left - is whether I can achieve same look with just natural light. But 11$ is much cheaper price to pay for this experiment.

You will have a really hard (even impossible) time doing this with natural light. But a couple of speedlights will go a long way.
