The role of SLR mirror

Lighting equipment used in shooting. Made of tin dust removal paper, white cloth, rice pineapple and other materials. The reflector plays the role of auxiliary lighting outside the scene, and sometimes it is also used as the main light. Different reflective surfaces can produce different soft and hard light. The smaller the reflector area, the worse the effect.

Silver reflectors are commonly used. Especially when the main light source such as fluorescent lamp and strongpoint is 1 lamp, it is light and effective. If it is used at close range, you can buy white lining paper in stationery store and paste silver paper or aluminum foil on its monotonous surface, which can be divided into silver reflector and white reflector. Try the silver reflector first. If the reflective effect is excessive, use the white reflector.

The reflector is a light compensation device when shooting. There are usually gold and silver double-sided foldable reflectors, which are often used to improve the light, make the plain picture fuller and better highlight the main body. Generally speaking, the function of reflector is limited to this, but in fact, the purpose of reflector is far more than that. After modification, the reflector can also derive strange uses.

Reflector: In addition to walls or ceilings, reflectors can also be used as reflecting surfaces. When shooting on a high roof or outdoors, reflectors are often used. Moreover, the photographer can freely control the angle and position of the reflective surface to create different shadow effects.
