How can I accomplish Mylar Photography?
There we have it!
- First, make sure you have a good general idea of what you're going to shoot.
- Next, take your Mylar and wrap it around the lens you have chosen and tape it to itself without taping the lens itself.
- Set aperture according to the lighting you have available, you do not need a specific aperature setting.
- Shoot away!
You now know how to (semi) successfully take Mylar themed photos, it's a very fun experiment and I hope you enjoyed and learned from it as much as I did! You will make some mistakes with this, but it's worth a shot!

Is that the only way?
It is not, if you have a big enough piece of Mylar, you can drape it over a chair and place your subject on the chair on top of the Mylar to get a different Mylar effect.
Helpful Tips:
- Always make sure you have great lighting.
- If your subject is a living thing, make sure it is 100% still or your Mylar would be ruined.
Thank you for watching!

Mylar Photography is accomplished with the polyester film, obviously called Mylar, and a few more things.
