Re: Looking for reflective material for still life set up

Metallic gift wrapping paper, attached to support. I have used scraps of this for fun when lighting jewelry and other small objects for macro. It comes in a huge variety of colors.

Silver conventional pop-up reflector for photography.

Silver bubble-wrap ("Reflectix") insulation: an example, comes in many sizes:

Emergency "space blanket" costs about $4.00 at an outdoors store - of course it comes in one color, silver. It is a good idea to have one of these in your car, if you liver where it gets cold. If you plan to re-use a lot, you might also consider the durable version. I keep one of these in the car for emergencies, and have also used it for an unattached sleeping bag cover when car camping in cold weather - easy to push it to one side.

Durable space blanket example - note the GROMMETS on the corners: https://www.rei.com/product/407106/space-all-weather-blanket?sku=4071060000&store=73&cm_mmc=PLA_Google_LIA|404_197493|4071060000|none|7731d9c1-90a2-45b8-96ab-1e8f3d7147c0|pla-447612908285&lsft=cm_mmc:PLA_Google_LIA|404_197493|4071060000|none|7731d9c1-90a2-45b8-96ab-1e8f3d7147c0&kclid=7731d9c1-90a2-45b8-96ab-1e8f3d7147c0&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpLGhpYOC4AIVg7jACh3g2w7YEAQYAiABEgJ8_PD_BwE
