How to use a photographic reflector

To use a photographic reflector, you only need to put the reflector under the object and choose the angle of the lens and the object. There is no reflection of other things in the display screen, generally about 45 degrees up and down, so adjust the exposure compensation EV. When shooting a black background, set the EV between -0.3 and -2. When shooting goods, sometimes in order to increase the texture of the products, reflectors are used. The most common colors are black and white. The black reflector can create a noble feeling, and the white reflector will make the product look elegant and generous. However, friends who have used it should find that the reflection is not obvious when using a white reflector. Although the reflection becomes clear when black is used, there is a problem of soft mask entering the mirror.
