However, if the surface is smooth and shiny such as glass or gloss paint it acts more like a mirror, and reflects most of the light back in one direction. This is called specular reflection.

You get a patch of glare, for example, when flash-on-camera shots are taken flat on towards a glass window or gloss-painted wall. 7). So try to arrange your lighting direction or camera viewpoint to bounce glare light away when photographing a highly reflective surface.
