A Must For Product Photography

I have been using this product for 4 years, a must if you do product photography.

Lasts for years

I started using Savage translum vellum almost 18 years ago. Recently I tried other cheaper products from online mega “Prime” shopping sites and was terribly disappointed. Savage translum vellum has many uses in a studio environment. It is my go to material for multiple projects. I use it primarily on a white table to produce flawless shadows under jewelry and other retail products as well as to diffuse lighting on the fly without having to setup a bulky soft box.

question

How thick is this material?
Asked by: Adam C.
This is the one you want for product photography. it won't show double reflection on your glossy subject. It means the reflection is uniformed. If the diffuser material is not strong enough. when you put softbox behind it. you will see double reflection on the glossy subject and that is no no.
