The Magic Behind the Glass
The last months of the year are always a special time for us- not because the season is ending, but because it’s when we start to see what truly inspired photographers and creators this year.
2025 isn’t over yet, but it’s already been an incredible journey for REFLECTLENS, a European brand known for designing creative optical filters that help photographers turn light into art.
Every single day, we ship dozens- sometimes hundreds, of photography filters across the world. From Europe to Australia, from small towns to big cities- each package carries the same spark: the desire to create something real, cinematic, and unique.
This year, photographers and filmmakers have been experimenting more than ever- using optical effects filters instead of digital edits to create emotion straight out of the camera.
And among all the filters that left our studio, a few clearly stood out.
Below are the top REFLECTLENS bestsellers of 2025 so far- the filters that defined the year for thousands of photographers worldwide.
1. Supernova II – The Motion Ghost Effect Filter
If there’s one filter that defined 2025, it’s Supernova II.
This creative filter creates mirrored reflections on both sides of the subject- producing movement, symmetry, and surreal motion directly in-camera.
Supernova II became a favorite for concert photographers, fashion creators, and filmmakers looking for real optical effects. Its cinematic unpredictability ensures no two shots ever look the same.
It’s more than glass- it’s a visual signature.
Why photographers love it: Because it makes photography feel alive again — experimental, bold, and full of energy.
2. Black Hole – The Magnetic Frame Filter
Minimal, mysterious, and cinematic.
The Black Hole filter subtly bends the edges of your frame, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the center and creating a natural, magnetic focus on your subject.
It’s one of the most elegant cinematic filters for emotional portraits and editorial work. Many European photographers used it this year for slow, storytelling visuals- where simplicity speaks the loudest.
Why photographers love it: Because it turns focus into feeling- proof that less is often more.
3. Supernova I – The Classic Reflection Filter
Before Supernova II, there was the original.
Supernova I introduced the single mirrored reflection that made the REFLECTLENS name famous. The result? A soft, balanced duplication on one side- perfect for portraits, street photography, and travel moments.
It’s a timeless favorite among creators who love subtle optical effects without overcomplicating the frame.
Why photographers love it: Because it’s the classic creative filter that never goes out of style.
4. Cosmic Blur – The Dreamlike Distortion Filter
The Cosmic Blur filter is all about mood and atmosphere.
It bends light gently, blurring edges and surrounding your subject with a glowing aura that feels cinematic and surreal- like a memory captured through glass.
Photographers across Europe used it this year for golden hour portraits, wedding scenes, and creative storytelling.
Why photographers love it: Because it captures more than a scene- it captures emotion, softness, and light in motion.
5. RFL-MIST – The Cinematic Glow Filter
Elegant and timeless, RFL-MIST is one of the most used photography filters of 2025.
It diffuses light, reduces contrast, and adds that beautiful film-like glow that instantly turns digital images into cinematic visuals.
Available in 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 strengths, RFL-MIST gives photographers full control over how soft or dramatic the final look becomes.
Why photographers love it: Because it brings emotion into every frame- adding warmth and depth that editing can’t replicate.
Why These Filters Became Bestsellers
What connects all these filters isn’t just their optical quality- it’s what they represent.
Each one encourages photographers to slow down, experiment, and rediscover the physical process of creating.
REFLECTLENS filters are crafted for real light, not digital shortcuts. With express EU shipping, 5-year warranty, and 15-day returns, they’ve become the go-to choice for creators who want both reliability and inspiration in one.
Looking Ahead
Each of these bestsellers tells a part of the REFLECTLENS story- one built on craftsmanship, family heritage, and the belief that light should always stay real.
The year isn’t over yet, and we’re already working on what’s next — new optical designs, new handheld filters, and fresh ideas to inspire another wave of creative photographers around the world.
Thank you for every order, message, and photo you’ve shared with us.
Because at REFLECTLENS, creativity will always remain authentic.
