Fill In Shadows with a Photo Reflector

Reflector-beach-5351.jpg

To make outdoor portraits seem more natural, use a photo reflector to illuminate your subjects. It’s usually more natural-looking than fill flash (see story) but the equipment can be a handful on windy days because of the size – you need an inch of reflector for every inch of height or width you want to illuminate. Reflectors are also useful outdoors on overcast days (or indoors in low light) to brighten the subject’s face. In a pinch, a white reflector makes a good backdrop for an eBay photo.
