    Another benefit of the black is to create contrast (usually used in cinematography). If the lighting is too flat, the black can add shadow to one side to add depth.

    Great video guys! You can also use the black side of the reflector on the shadow-side of the subject's face to provide negative fill--boosting contrast in the shadow detail. Especially helpful when using a diffuser (or diffusing light panel) which often eliminates shadow contrast too much.

    I have the same reflectors and I only use to gold reflector at sunset (I have my subject face away from the sun and use the gold side to bounce the light onto their face and it works much better at sunset than at midday since the light is already golden at sunset). ALSO if you don't want to buy a reflector stand and you don't have an assistant, just use a tripod and the self timer on your camera. Set the self timer then while it's counting down, hold the reflector onto your subject

    Hi Tony & Chelsea! Thanks for the video, it was helpful to actually see you handle this sizeable reflector. Currently, I'm also considering a Neewer reflector, however I'm leaning more towards the triangular version with grip. It seems easier to handle in the absence of an assistant. Not sure on the size, however (32 or 40 inches). Have you tried triangular reflectors and would you think the 40" triangle is unwieldy, or is it possible for a solo photographer to operate it? Interested in hearing your thoughts! Thanks

    Simple solution when working outdoors with light stands, reflector holders etc when it gets a bit breezy -use guy lines. A few lengths of cord, a few line locks and some tent pegs and you can secure your stands. I often use two guys at 45 degrees working in opposition to the weight of whatever the stand is holding, soft box, reflector etc. In more adverse conditions simply increase the number of guys in use.

    This reflector / diffuser is one of the best tools for such little cost that every photographer must have one. And its GREEN; no batteries required. I wish you had shown how it folds down into a fraction of its original size.... but hey! Thanks for another great video. One more potential use for this is as a background on head shots, product photography and so on. Just get one!
