Glossy Reflections That Match the Product Above Them
A reflection under a product is one of the fastest visual cues for 'premium' — it's standard in electronics, spirits, and luxury photography specifically because it implies a controlled studio environment. Fluxx.work generates a reflection that mirrors the product's actual silhouette, color, and light falloff rather than a generic mirrored blur.

What makes a reflection convincing
A real reflection isn't just a flipped, faded copy of the product — it has reduced contrast, a slight color shift toward the reflective surface's own tint, and falloff that's stronger the further the reflected point is from the contact surface. A phone or bottle's reflection is sharpest and clearest right at the base and progressively softer and dimmer further down, matching how light actually behaves on glossy acrylic or glass.
Surface type changes the reflection's character
A glossy black acrylic surface (common in electronics photography) gives a fairly sharp, slightly warm-tinted reflection. A glass shelf gives a cooler, more transparent-feeling reflection. Fluxx.work varies reflection character based on the chosen surface rather than using one generic mirror effect.
Where this is used
Electronics hero shots (phones, laptops, speakers) where a reflection signals premium build quality; spirits and cosmetics bottle photography where reflection is near-universal in the category's visual conventions; luxury goods where a glossy-surface reflection reinforces a premium price point.
How the generation works
Upload the product photo, isolated or on a plain background. Choose a reflective surface type — glossy acrylic, glass, polished stone. Fluxx.work generates a reflection matched to the product's silhouette and color with accurate falloff and surface-appropriate tint.

Best Practices
- check_circleMatch surface type (acrylic, glass, stone) to established conventions in the product's category
- check_circleKeep reflection intensity consistent across a full product line for cohesion
- check_circleUse reflection as the primary grounding cue on glossy-surface categories instead of a shadow
- check_circlePreview both reflection and shadow options before choosing which fits the product's premium positioning
Common Mistakes
- cancelUsing a flat, uniformly-faded flipped copy as a reflection instead of realistic falloff
- cancelChoosing a reflection surface type that doesn't match the category's visual conventions
- cancelCombining a strong reflection and a strong shadow, which can look physically inconsistent
- cancelApplying reflections to categories where the convention is unusual and looks out of place

“We used to book a studio every quarter. Now one product photo gives us the hero, lifestyle and detail shots in a single pass, and the catalogue finally looks like one brand instead of six separate shoots.”

“The garment is genuinely the same in every frame — colour, print and trims all hold. That was the part I did not believe until we ran our own SKUs through it.”

“Glass and reflections are where most tools fall apart. Ours come out clean, so we can photograph a new scent the week it launches instead of waiting on a studio slot.”

“Metal finish and stone detail survive a zoom now, which is what our listings actually needed. We stopped reshooting pieces that came back soft.”

“The textures and lighting are so realistic that customers tell us they can almost feel the product. We reshoot far less than we used to.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the reflection match my product's actual shape and color?
Yes, the reflection is generated from the product's actual silhouette and color rather than a generic flipped-and-faded copy.
Can I choose the type of reflective surface?
Yes, glossy acrylic, glass, and polished stone are available as surface presets, each with a different reflection character.
Does this work well for categories other than electronics?
Yes, spirits, cosmetics, and luxury goods commonly use reflection as a standard convention and it applies the same way.
Can I combine a reflection with a contact shadow on the same image?
Yes, though typically a product uses either a shadow or a reflection as its grounding cue depending on the surface being simulated, not usually both at full strength simultaneously.
Why Fluxx.work
Fluxx.work generates reflections tied to the product's real shape and the chosen surface's optical behavior, not a flipped-and-faded copy pasted underneath.
