There is a fine line between getting a straight-on shot of the surfaces, while minimizing the reflections. If you have the time, readHey everyone
Im currently in the process of launching an online showroom for natural and man made stone slabs. Ive been trying to find a convenient way to photograph the slabs for my inventory. There are over 60 slabs and some of them are very polished and reflect all the light in the warehouse. There are skylights and windows everywhere. Im looking for some advice on how to photograph these slabs without seeing the reflections in the photo. Im kinda new to product photography and any advice would be much appreciated. I am working with a nikon d5300 dslr camera and i have some studio lighting. I have a 120 watt external flash and a 40 watt continuous light. I was thinking to create a black canopy and cover the slabs to block the light but that didn't seem to work.

which will help you in setting up your camera and lights.
With reflections coming from just about everywhere, you might have to do as tirediron has suggested, and shoot them at night with the warehouse lights turned off.
