The Photo Basics 5-in-1 Collapsible Reflector Kit is versatile in the field and in the studio providing shadow-lightening detail in your subject using available or studio lighting. It contains a translucent white disc which is perfect for softening direct sunlight or lights without diffusion. Use the removable reversible zippered slipcover to reflect light into shadow areas of your subject. The cover consists of the following colors: silver gold white and black. This 42" reflector is perfect for 3/4 length portraits and medium still-life setups. It folds down to 1/3 its open size and comes with a carry case. We suggest the purchase of a pivoting arm and stand to hold the disc where needed -- especially if you are working without an assistant.
- Silver increases the specular highlights and yields a high-contrast image. Its perfect for video product shots and B&W photography.
- Gold produces a natural golden fill that is great for sunsets or indoor portraits.
- White produces an even neutral-colored bounce light that works beautifully as a fill light source
- Black is used as a flag to block light or can be used to subtract light
- Translucent fabric is used to diffuse light producing a broad light source and a soft wraparound effect
