Instead, place two external lamps at 45-degree angles to the artwork so the glare bounces away from your camera lens, or use a diffuser like a sheer cloth over your ring light. [1, 2, 3]
Here are the specific, actionable steps to fix the shine and get a clean shot:
Reposition Your Lights: Remove your phone or camera from the middle of the ring light. Position two separate diffused lights (or angle the ring light itself) to point at the artwork from the left and right at roughly a 45-degree angle. This causes the light to strike the paper and reflect safely away from your camera lens. [1]
Use Diffused Light: Ring lights produce harsh, direct light. Soften the light by draping a photography diffusion sheet, a very thin white bedsheet, or parchment paper loosely over the front of the light. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Avoid Graphite Shine: Pencil art (especially using soft, dark graphite) is naturally reflective and prone to “graphite shine” from pressure. Fix your drawing’s surface by lightly spraying it with a high-quality artist fixative, such as Blick Art Materials, to cut down on natural surface reflection. [1]
