I always have trouble getting good pictures of brilliant proofs and reverse proofs. One possibility is a diffuse axial (or pseudo axial) approach, but the slab causes a lot of glare that needs to be subtracted out, and scratches on the slab may get enhanced.

Frosted proofs are a lot easier (slabbed or unslabbed), as long as dark mirror fields are acceptable.
