Reflector: What It Is, How to Use It


I just bought a set of lights and all the goodies that come with it, including a reflector disc. What is that used for? And how does it work? Thanks so much for any responses. Dee :)

  You use a reflector to reflect/bounce light from the source onto the subject. It's usually used to "fill" shadows on the subject with a bit more light, so that they won't be too hard, too harsh, or too black.
