is this reflective at all? I need white background to photograph Jewelery but I don't want any reflection. Thanks.

It's a matte surface (at least, the side I use is matte). I do product photography and this has worked very well for me.

One side is a very nice "matte" dull but pure white, the other side is somewhat shiny "pearlized" finish.

The way I'm using it (for portraits, the room is not completely dark, and I use flashes), they are ok. I have noticed a very, very minor brightness when the flash was directed at it (i.e. I was trying to make it reflective to see how it reacts), but it was barely noticeable since I was looking for it.

It reflects light better. I'm not a big photo printer and do not use photo black ink.I do use remanufactured ink cartridges. First computer 1985.

For some types of jewelry, instead of an opaque white backdrop, it's better to shoot on a lightbox. (You can create a "lightbox" with translucent plexi and a light underneath) You can get the under-light bright enough to blow-out ground shadows and for true ultra-white background, while still controlling the lights on your product from the top. Gemstones often look good with the light coming up through them.For macro work, you'd not need an entire roll of seamless paper. Just use some high-quality printer paper (like Hammermill 24# laser print or Hammermill 32# color copy paper) that's very smooth and very white and fairly matte. Unless you are doing some extreme side-lighting, you won't get any texture. For some types of jewelry, instead of an opaque white backdrop, it's better to shoot on a lightbox.

The background allows light and it feels like paper it's pretty thin but it's durable unless you poke some thing thru it. They are well made otherwise Good luck with your search!

ok, I put the camera at my kitchen window facing outside & was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the shot. it was late in the day about 6:30 pm and I could see some indirect reflections from the setting sun in a couple of places on the window - but really clear other wise, pretty much like I expected, but, the reflections in no way obstructed the view I was seeing on my iPhone. and we have a new home and double panes as well, so you shouldn't have any problem mounting the LNC104 from the inside looking out.

This is clear glass. No reflective backing. This is not to say the firelight will be dull. The flat surfaces will still reflect light and enhance too.

I don't the reflection an issue. But did notice 2 issues with vinyl compare to paper: 1. There are waves on the background because of the weight, similar to what you see with fabric. 2. The bottom where it bends when it touches the ground, it's more reflective there and shows up. Unlike paper where you see a smooth curve.

I held it over a camera lens. It makes neat patterns around light. I used it on a campfire, streetlight, fireworks, etc. The paper is not completely translucent so the pictures aren't going to be very clear though.

The material is stainless steel, and it is not painted. A stainless steel object is hard to photograph because it is so reflective.

It is a continuous light source. It is probably not bright enough to give you any kind of artistic reflection.

I do NOT feel it is reflective while watching the tv but it does reflect light source if you LOOK for it. The picture quality is amazing. The sound is however subpar. I am in the process getting a sound bar. But if you are going to have a sound system hooking to it it won't matter.

I've used it for photographing watch faces before, and it does well at eliminating the reflections of light sources from that; however, if it could do the same for this jewelry you have is very dependent on things like the material, shape, and light control.

It's white, but like all white backgrounds you need to light it correctly I would say 1 stop over you exposure to ensure pure white. And make sure it's evenly lit if you want it perfect.

I't not white like a piece of paper but I don't think I'd call it off-white either. It's just a soft white? Not as bright as email.

This background is white. I have only found white and color background on any of the websites I have searched so far.

It is definitely white, but unless you use additional lighting directly on the background, it will appear grey in the photos. It does also retain some creases from the folding which can be highlighted with shadows if the lighting isn't properly set up. This can be lessened/removed if you iron the background, but that could be challenging if shooting on location.

It's not a light, or lights. It's a reflection from a flash. I removed mine not long after because it's very dark and only looks that bright with a bright flash.
