What gear and tools does Scott Kivowitz recommend for overcoming common photography challenges like reflections on glass?

Hi, I’m Scott Kivowitz from Scott Wyden Imagery. How can I help?

For reflections on glass and similar challenges, a few specific tools come up a lot in Scott’s content:

• LenSkirt – A flexible “hood” that seals your lens to glass (zoos, aquariums, buildings) to block reflections.
• Tighter light modifiers – Snoots and grids instead of umbrellas/softboxes so subjects with glasses are not looking into broad light sources, reducing glare.
• Thoughtful light placement – As David Hobby puts it, light from one side and have the person face the other so reflections bounce “harmlessly off into space,” not back at the camera.

Would you like suggestions tailored to portraits, wildlife behind glass, or cityscapes through windows?
