How To Use a Reflector -



We've all heard of reflectors, but do you know how much of difference they can make to your photos?

We'll show you how to use a reflector. Being something that is used a lot in photography, it is really a useful tool for all kinds of imaging.

In 'How To Use a Reflector Part 1' we'll take you through the basics of how reflectors can manipulate light to balance out deep shadows and burnt out highlights - and brightness to get subtle or even strong effects on your images.

There's a reflector for everyone whether it be purpose built reflectors or something as simple as white envelopes or large pieces of white card. By using coloured reflectors you can even add colour to areas of an image - especially to the shadows.

Once you understand how to use a reflector, it'll improve pretty much all areas of your photography, whether it be still life, portraits or commercial photography, which is fantastic considering how simple it is.

Reflectors can be not only used to push light back in - they can be used to remove light which sounds crazy. Check out the video and you'll see what we're on about.
