How to use the reflector?

Silver reflector

The silver reflector is bright and smooth as a mirror, which can emit brighter light. Silver reflector is also a kind of reflector commonly used by photographers, which "highlights" the eyes of the subject, and the effect of this reflector is easily reflected in the eyes of the subject, thus producing large and bright eye light. This kind of reflector is used in cloudy outdoor, and the light mainly comes from above the head of the subject. When in use, it can be placed directly under the subject's face, so that it is just out of the camera's field of vision and reflects the top light to the subject's face. Under cloudy light conditions, the white reflector does not have such a strong effect.

Golden reflector

Like a silver reflector, it reflects light like a smooth mirror, but in contrast to a cold-tuned silver reflector, it produces light with a warmer hue. The golden reflector is mainly used to supplement the light in the sun. This reflector has two functions: one is to obtain directional light that can shine on the face of the subject, and the other is to reduce the exposure difference from the background to the foreground without seriously overexposing the background.
