Need Lightting/Lens advice - Not an expert

Just thinking out loud here but might this be an ideal situation to use cross posterisation photography?

ie using a polarizer in front of your flash lights as well as in front of the lens.

Interesting idea. Where does one get these filters?

That is a trickier part - polarizer sheet filter is a bit harder to find - google around and you might find some sources. The other option is you can use a cheap regular circular polarizer lens (it doesn't have to be expensive because the light isn't directly going into your lens, unlike the polarizer on your lens itself). The other thing to watch out for is that you need an air gap between the polarizer sheet and the flash. Flash heads get hot can burn out the poliarzer materail/filter (I think the lens versions are pretty safe from this)
