    The glass doesn't need to be removed depending on your lighting. My booth shot from last year had three Novatron flash heads in the top of the tent bouncing upwards. The angle was such that there weren't reflections from the glass. The exposure was f22-f16, so any reflections are way down in intensity. I did my set up indoors so the ambient lighting was down. If you're setting up outdoors, wait until dark so the light is from your floods or flashes. Two or three flashes synced together and bouncing off the inside of the tent canopy will give a good soft light.

    Thanks Larry. I will remove the glass. Two other questions. I sell larger pieces, but also sell a lot of framed 5x7 and 8x10 pieces. Should I hang them on the left wall and do an angle shot or just shoot it straight on. Also I have a Craft Hut and an Ezup does it matter which one I use to shoot in?

    Absolutely remove the glass. Or hang black fabric to control reflections.

      Greetings,

      I am a newbie so, bear with me and thank you!! I, too, am shooting my booth shot this weekend. So, I should remove glass? Also, I read somewhere to remove my banner with my name (of course it took a while to hang)...Is this true for a jury? Not to see the named banner??  One last thing...do you recommend framing canvases, even the extra large canvas??

      Again, all thanks!!

      Amber

        Absolutely no names or any identification.

        As for canvas, framed or gallery wrapped, that's your choice.

        You should also ask on my photography forum:

          Thank you for the information...I was wondering if there is a way to make the picture frames lay flush on my #TrimlineMeshPanels when I hang them?? This is seeming to be a daunting task...the top bows out slightly...

          Thanks, A

            Prop something under the bottoms to make them lay vertical. Also use two hooks for each frame.
