The term "glossy finish" refers to a type of surface or appearance that is shiny, smooth and reflective. It often implies a high-quality, polished look that can be achieved through various methods such as applying a glossy coating or using special printing techniques. A glossy finish can enhance the visual appeal of an object by drawing attention to its colors, textures, and details. In photography, it is often used to create a sense of depth and vibrancy in images through the use of light reflection.
