Lighting using a Reflector - Photography Tutorial

One of the things I recommend anyone to have when you first start your photography journey is REFLECTOR! They're probably one of the most affordable pieces of equipment for photography with prices ranging from $15 to as high as you can go. You can even DIY one! Having a reflector can teach you a LOT about manipulating light to get your ideal result. Normally, when you get a reflector, it will also come with a diffuser (something to soften harsh light). They're great for improving your portraits, product shots...basically anything which requires light. Reflectors don't need electricity, plus they're lightweight and relatively compact. While I don't ALWAYS use my reflector, I do carry it with me when I'm on a shoot, especially because I rarely work with artificial lighting. The reflector I'm using in this video has 5 sides: white, gold, black, silver, silver with gold zigzags, blue and green, and a diffuser; and I show you how to use the 5 reflectors (the blue and green are used as green screens, while the diffuser is used to soften light, not to bounce light). Even if you've never used a reflector for photography, it's SUPER EASY to learn. All you have to do is to find the source of light, hold the reflector in a position to be able to "catch" the light, and then re-direct that light to your subject. And last of all, you DON'T need a DSLR camera to get the benefits of a reflector. You can use a mobile camera, a point-and-shoot camera, a gopro...you can use ANY camera, because reflectors are not about the camera that you're using - reflectors are about playing with light. This is a simple lighting "hack" to improve your photography forever! 🤗 Manifest your dream life through Photo & Video Content 🤗 My Book 👑 Content Queen: Beginner's Guide to Making Good AF Content (Even if You Suck At Using the Camera) 👉 https://go.kristinefernandez.com.au/cqyt ============ 🎥 WHAT I FILM WITH 🎥 📸 Vlogging Camera: https://amzn.to/2Wonz98 💡 Lighting: https://amzn.to/2WEpvu8 and https://amzn.to/2QQyZP8 🎤 Wireless Microphone: https://amzn.to/2WEpvu8 🎤 Plug-In Microphone: https://amzn.to/2WEpvu8 ☑️ Tripod: https://amzn.to/2xK55n2 ============ 💁🏽‍♀️ MY HAIR SECRETS 💁🏽‍♀️ 👌🏽 Best softness & shine: https://amzn.to/2xPDl07 👌🏽 Ultimate volume & styling: https://bit.ly/Hair-volume (USE CODE KRISTINE10 to get 10% off site-wide) ============ 📈 GROW ONLINE 📈 ✅ YouTube Growth: https://www.tubebuddy.com/Kristine ✅ Copyright-free Music: https://artlist.io/KRISTINE-820568 (Sign up with my code and get 2 Months free) ✅ Canva Pro: https://canva.7eqqol.net/AvM3o ============ ✨ WELLNESS ✨ ✅ Juicer: https://amzn.to/2WhZFMj ✅ Weighted Blanket: https://amzn.to/3bkKac1 (No blanket cover) ============ 🌍 Connect with Me: ✖️ Instagram: instagram.com/missfernandez__ ✖️ Facebook: facebook.com/kristinefernandezonline ✖️ YouTube: youtube.com/kristinefernandez ✖️ Tiktok: https://vm.tiktok.com/3Ug8AB/ ✖️ Twitter: twitter.com/missfernandez__ 🌎 www.kristinefernandezonline.com
