Indubitably
I’m not releasing this for sale as a print just yet, because I haven’t photographed the piece properly. If anyone has any tips on positioning the lighting so it doesn’t reflect off the surface, I’d love to see them!

This original is available for sale. Go get it!

You need to diffuse the light. Without the appropriate equipment, it can be hard. When I photograph book covers (they’re part of my collection) I usually put them by a window and stand over them until I get into a position where the light reflection is off the book. It requires daylight though and either a steady hand or a tripod. If anything else comes to mind, I’ll post it. Others may have a better suggestion. Like using tracing paper between the flash and the image …

I have a light box that a friend gave me, and I photographed this inside the box with a desk lamp positioned outside it. The fabric on the box is a white cotton sort of textile, and I thought it might diffuse the light enough to avoid the reflection, but I think the surface is just too shiny!! I also don’t use a flash, should I?
lightsmith
Definitely avoid a flash if possible. Maybe if the lightbox is outside in sunlight the diffusion might be enough ?
