Dulling Spray

Eliminate glare from photos and videos with a removable matte finish

Photographing glossy artwork or reflective objects turns into a lighting nightmare when glare washes out details. This spray solves that problem by creating a temporary matte finish that eliminates reflections without altering the underlying surface. Chrome fixtures, varnished paintings, glazed ceramics, anything that catches light becomes instantly camera-friendly.

The formula dries in two to three minutes to a perfectly even, non-reflective surface that dramatically simplifies your lighting setup. You can position lights for optimal contrast and depth instead of constantly adjusting to avoid hot spots. When you're finished shooting, the coating removes completely with a damp cloth, leaving no residue or marks on the original surface.

Professional photographers keep this on hand for product shoots where reflective materials would otherwise require elaborate diffusion setups. It's equally valuable for artists documenting portfolio work, especially oil paintings with wet varnish or mixed media pieces incorporating metallic elements. The quick dry time means you can shoot immediately rather than waiting for alternative solutions, and complete removability ensures your work remains unaltered once documentation is complete.
