What Is Glare & Reflection Removal?

Whenever you shoot through glass, on car bodywork, or near mirrors, unwanted reflections can break the shot — visible crew, gear, lighting rigs, or stray lens flares.

Reflection removal is the manual VFX process of isolating those artifacts and rebuilding what should sit beneath them, while keeping the genuine reflections that make the shot feel real.

It is fully manual work — there is no one-click filter for it — and the quality depends entirely on the artist.
