===== Metallic fabrics require deliberate lighting control due to their highly reflective nature. In this session, the lighting was not feathered or shaped to manage reflective response. =====

Key issues observed:
* Specular highlight overload
* Uneven tonal rendering across the dress
* Loss of fabric texture and visual consistency

Training recommendation:
Feather the key light across the subject rather than aiming directly at reflective surfaces. Increase light distance to create more even illumination and reduce harsh reflections. Always test lighting with reflective materials prior to final shooting.
