Reflection Pose

reflection-pose

The reflection-pose parameter tells the reflection how the subject was photographed, from 0 to 90, exactly as drop-shadow-pose does. It defaults to 90, or to the pose of a cast shadow when one is set.

Below 90 the reflection is shortened, because a subject seen from above presents less of itself to the floor. At 0 — a flat-lay — there is no reflection at all, which is correct: a photograph taken from directly overhead has no floor in it.

Pose and mode are shared with a cast shadow. Set them once on either family and both effects agree. Values are clamped to 0-90.
