The sun came from behind the model and the reflector is reflecting the light back to your model’s face. You can also use the reflector when using backlight like I did with the photos below. I prefer to use a reflector only on cloudy days, because the results will be too hard in the full sun, especially the silver and gold ones. If you’re using a silver or gold side, be careful in the full sun, the last thing you want to do is temporarily blind them :) Also ask the model is she sees or feels the difference. The change might be subtle, but you’ll be able to find the right angle for your reflector with a little practice. The best method I have found for using a reflector is to move it back and forth and watch the light on your model. Please watch the video to see what the big difference! For the white reflector it’s a little bit harder. I recommend to hold the reflector above the model instead of below the model. Seeing where the light is landing when you’re using a gold or silver reflector is easy. Today I would like to show you the differences when using a 5-in-1 80cm reflector, and yes this one is just € 19,95!Ī reflector reflects light, just as is says. I bought my first small reflector at a photo fair 9 years ago and I was surprised by the results. Kamera Express asked me to tell you everything about reflectors, so I did! We created this video for you in Dutch to show you how to make better portraits with a reflector. It is a cheap (depends on the brand and the size) gadget to enhance your photography skills.
