Did you know that a reflector can do this?

by Brett | Aug 26, 2016 | PHOTOGRAPHERS | 12 comments

Your basic reflector can be a 3 in 1 lighting system.

Held In the CONCAVE position, the light becomes more concentrated – this option results in a very sculptured look, giving the image an editorial feel

Held in the CONVEX position – this option delivers a soft window light effect, giving a gentle and friendly ambience.

Held in the NEUTRAL position – this option creates a natural feel with a moderate light source, providing good tonal gradation.

I’ve never thought of bending the reflector whilst using it. Always learning new things from you, thanks Brett.
