Photography podcast #30 is all about how to use reflectors to better your photography. We focus on common types of reflectors, when to use them as well as why reflectors are an essential item‚for every‚photographer’s toolkit.The following photographs illustrate how effective a reflector can be to add light to subjects that are in shadow or that need a little extra boost of light. Note how especially the eyes of both my boy (Ziglet the cat) and my wife (posing in ‘Pulp Fiction’ style)‚receive extra illumination and become much more vibrant when a reflector is used. Note that the exposure DID NOT change for any of the reflected/unreflected shots. I also did not do any manipulation whatsoever in a graphics program as I wanted to clearly illustrate the effects of changing only 1 variable. (adding a reflector) You can click the photographs to enlarge them.
