Tip #43: Reflectors

Reflectors are great tools to add a little fill light, using the existing lighting. They work great in natural ambient light, strobe, and continuous lighting situations. Reflectors come in a variety of colors -- the most popular being white, silver, and gold. White reflects existing light; silver cools the existing light; and gold warms the existing light. Like light sources, the larger the source, the softer the reflected light will be.

My favorite is a 42-inch silver and gold mix, because it adds a nice touch to skin tones. I bought mine at Drop It Modern.
