Light Reflectors for Photography

I’m a person who likes to learn photography and wanted to explore the high speed exposure shots. So I got myself a flash gun (Altura Pro Flash Kit for Nikon – You can check my review on that in its amazon page) and wanted to find a reflector kit which would be cheap yet usable.So due to the price, size (I preferred an elongated on opposed to circle since I was going to capture water droplets, splashes etc) and the reviews I went with this one: ‘Neewer 5 in 1 Portable 24 x 36"/60 x 90cm Round Collapsible…’.So I’ve used this kit for that and found to be good for my need. You can see the images I took with these. In some pics I’ve used the diffuser in front of the flash gun and others the white reflector which reflects back the light coming from a camera in front of it (angles must be set properly not to directly reflect the light in to the camera. In both cases the reflector/diffuser were set as the back drop of the photo. Obviously I had to remove the backdrop imperfections in the post-processing of the images. The main way to make it easier is to set the light to over expose the reflector/diffuser so that the light anyway washes out the backdrop needing minimum adjustment in the post-processing.It has most of the reflectors and diffusers you can think of. It has the diffuser with the tensioned ring, so when you need to put other reflectors you put that on top of the diffuser (which is the norm for these type of cheaper kits).I’ve used it for few months, so far it has worked out fine. And for my needs it’s a perfect match.So, in short:Pros:- Has all the reflectors/diffuser needs of most- Very useful if you need an elongated shape (portrait type capturing)- Cheap price- Can be put in a small round cover – very easy to travel withCons:- None that I can think ofIf my review helped you in some way, please click the ‘Yes’ button below. Thank you!PS. in one of my pics (last) the diffuser looks strangely out of shape at the bottom, that's due to the angle I took the photo and not really the shape of the item.

Simple, compact, go anywhere light source.This quick-change-artist comes in a great little case that folds up into the tiniest space.One side is silver the other side is black. Great!Flick open the zipper, turn it inside out, and you have white and gold... even Greater!The innermost 5th element gives you a translucent reflector that can bounce and / or soften a light source.The only down side to this is developing a technique for getting it to fit back into the a small circular shape so it can fit back in the case.I'm not 100% sure the listing for this product makes it clear that there are not 5 separate reflectors. I'm pretty sure most people know this, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.This is an inexpensive option for expanding your studio lighting, getting great fills outdoors, and all for just a few dollars. I'm sure you could spend 4 or 5 times this much on a similar product. As for this one, what a great utility tool and an exceptional value.ThanksJoe (Creatively.Me)

Love this huge reflector and diffuser! Versatile, can be used as a diffuser, backdrop, shade, or light source. The large size of this item gives a soft and attractive light towards your subject. The fact that it folds down to a compact size means it is always ready to use in a few seconds. It may be a little tricky to fold the first time you try it, but you will get the hang of it. There are many videos online that show you how to fold them and once you get it down, it is a breeze. The material is sturdy and I have been using it for around six months with regular outdoor use and there have been no defects so far. High quality. Definitely wows the client to have such an impressive piece of equipment, and having four materials in one object means you are ready for any situation. Would recommend to every photographer, hobbyist or professional because of how many uses it has and how affordable it is.

got the 180cm version.good quality. one thing i always test w reflectors, i rub my hand on the metallic-colored surfaces to see if the silver or gold flakes off, thats a big hassle. luckily the two i bought from neewer don't.theres a youtube tutorial "gabrielle ruddick how to fold a large portable pop up backdrop" that explains how to fold it, that works.i think having this larger size will assist for quick setup and leaning against walls to quickly bounce or absorb light w the black or white sides. silver is probably to specular/harsh for my use case, gold i dont see a use for.the zippers are good, hanging loop is acceptable. price is fair.stores away and just barely fits hanging against the wall in my tiny closet, def a size up wouldn't have fit.so its working out.the inner diffuser, u can hang up by putting a pen thru the hanging loop of the reflector and gaffe taping both sides of the pen to a ceiling.this style of reflector is a bit cumbersome to mount and it becomes a sail outdoors, but for quickly leaning against a wall n not taking up much space , its convenient.the pop up frame makes it quick and easy to use against a wall, and itll def bounce some light.you could also try black/white 6x6ft ultrabounce for absorbing or bouncing light, jus u lose the convenience of faster setup against the wall w the frame, but you have a greater surface area and it folds up ezu could also use foamcore boards , white to bounce or black to absorb. tho ud probably use something like a duckbill clamp to hold them to a cstandbut yes this reflector has its use and is quick for how im using it. good quality. good price.get the largest one if u want to block an entire window, maybe put two units together/overlap. i jus dont have the space for anything much larger.also handy to use reflectors to have a cleaner space to put your film gear on when working outdoors. jus put it on the ground n put your stuff on top
