Let’s use the photo above as an example.
This bathroom was a bit tight, so there wasn’t much room to move around and find different angles for the light to avoid reflections. You can see in the original base layer that there’s a lot of glare and reflection, especially in the top and right of the shower door. The big tip to remember is that you want to get a frame or two with the light INSIDE the shower. By lighting up the shower from the inside, you’re eliminating any possibility of a reflection, adding definition to the shower area, and creating a touch of dramatic lighting that will stand out.

So I started with the base photo above, but then took two additional photos to light up the inside of the shower - one for the right side of the shower and one for the left side. I did this in two photos because the room was really small and I could get it all without being in the way. Below are the two shots that I took specifically for the shower interior. (Don’t mind the horrific angle that is showing off my belly in its worst light! Ha!) You’ll also see a bright shot that is taken to finish off my blending layers - this one is to help fill in any dark shadows, most likely around the floor area and around the toilet.
