In today’s episode with Vanessa Joy from AdoramaTV we are going to learn photographer’s favorite reflectors and various styles/techniques for its application.
Vanessa shares: “Number one reflector that I have here is the lastolite tri grip and the reason I like this one is because it’s a great reflector that you can hand hold all by yourself. I have the silver and white [side] I think it might come in different skins but this is what I’ve got and you can hand hold it while photographing wherever you’re gonna photograph so let’s take some shots. I’m specifically backlighting her because I wanted to have a white background.”
“This one’s really great when you’re by yourself you have to hold the light. Let’s go to my second favorite – lasolite halo. This one is it’s so compact. I travel a lot for the photography work, and bringing a round reflector is kind of annoying. Another nice thing about this is you can have one yellow frame and then you can have multiple skins. This one’s silver and white but there are a lot of other options. It is super light, so you can just hand hold it yourself it is round so it’s a little bit different of a shape obviously than the Tri grip and again you can get different skins for it. The other thing that’s great is that it’s really really tight. You could practically bounce beans off of this, so you don’t have to worry about it rolling up in any way it’s really gonna maintain the circular form. “
“Now let’s go to my absolute favorite third reflector that I love and really use anytime I can. This is the glow 5 in 1 reflector and this is my go to, what I use on every wedding, every shoot. As long as I can and as long as I have an assistant that is the caveat with this one but it can do so much. “
