When glass reflections hide a figure, first change the camera angle and the room lighting. Stronger light aimed at the cabinet can make the reflection worse. Take a few controlled test photos before moving an elaborate display.
Identify what is reflected
Look for a window, ceiling lamp, phone screen or bright clothing visible in the glass. Change one source at a time so you can see which adjustment helps. A darker area behind the camera can simplify the reflection without changing the figure.
Avoid using a direct flash into the door. Instead, use existing indirect light or a carefully positioned lamp that does not heat the collectible. Follow the lighting equipment's clearance instructions.
Move the camera before the figure
Shift slightly left or right and change height while keeping the subject's face readable. An oblique angle may reduce one reflection but distort the composition, so compare the result rather than assuming a fixed angle always works.
Keep the phone or lens from pressing against the glass. Stabilize your hands or use a support placed safely outside the cabinet. Do not balance equipment on a shelf containing fragile pieces.
Decide whether to open the door
If reflections remain distracting, an open-door photo may be simpler, provided you can open it safely and keep pets or children away during the shot. Clean glazing only with products appropriate to the cabinet, keeping cleaners away from figures.
For a Super Saiyan Sphere display, photograph the whole arrangement and a closer view of the chosen focal piece. Preserve the actual colors and details rather than editing away damage or altering the product's appearance, especially if the photograph will be used to sell or describe it.
