They are easy to handle, easy to carry and can reflect or diffuse both ambient and flash light. The sturdy yet foldable metal frame is equipped with two ergonomically shaped handles, making the reflectors easy to fold and easy to hold in different positions. The white coating reflects the light most naturally.
This makes this reflector the most popular and also a great light shaper for beginners. It produces a soft, natural light that is ideal for outdoor portraits in bright sunlight or for flash photography in the studio. To achieve the best results with the white reflector, you should place it relatively close to your subject.
The metallic golden coating provides a warmer light with a lower color temperature. You can use these reflectors, for example, if you are taking portraits at sunset and want to compensate for the lower position of the sun. The golden reflector then gives the shot the necessary warmth.
