The photographer stands in front of the seal, capturing it from a flat perspective with a deep background to avoid reflections.

Additional tips: ①When shooting, press close to the glass and avoid casting shadows; ②Do not use flash or tripods; ③Coal essence stones are small (2cm), so patiently adjust your position to avoid reflections.
