Usage of black reflector

1, technically speaking, the black reflector is not a reflector, but a dimmer or absorber;

2. The black reflector is used to reduce the amount of light by dimming;

3. When shooting in the top light, the face often produces "raccoon eyes". Putting a black mirror on the subject's head can reduce the light at the top. At this time, the light is emitted from under the black reflector, just like under a big tree or under a porch, thus guiding the direction of the light. By using another black reflector at the other end. Create a "funnel" light on the main body.
