The
reflector has white fabric on one side and gold on the other. The reflector fabric
unzips and is reversible. The reverse fabric colors are black (which is used
to deepen shadows) and silver. The reflector collapses and fits in a 16-inch
diameter bag.
Fill Shadows with a Reflector
1. If lighting conditions necessitate a slow shutter speed, set your camera on a tripod,
and then position your subject as outlined previously.
2. Have a friend or family member hold the reflector and angle it so that the light is
caught by the reflector and bounced back into the shadow side of your subject??™s face.
3. View the scene through the viewfinder, and tell your assistant which way to move the
reflector. You??™ll be able to see the difference through the viewfinder.
4. Press the shutter button halfway to focus the scene.

The camera counts down and records the
picture. This image was captured using
available light under a tree. An assistant
aimed a silver reflector at the model to
bounce some light back into the heavy
shadows on her face.
