Ive tried to find some info on this but what ive found has been rather vague and probably beyond my current Fusion level lol.

I wish to take an HDR image or any hires image for that matter and use that as a source to light my scene. I know it can be done, im just not sure the steps to do it so far without the image becoming a reflection on my models.

any thoughts?

AFAIK the only method to do image based lighting is a "hack" /trick
You can sample the image at different points and create a spotlight with the sampled color.
There is a comp/script available that uses that technique.
I will look for the link and repost it later

go down to the "Faking Global Illumination" entry, download the comp and have fun!
