Types and specific functions of reflectors

1, white reflector: The light reflected by the white reflector is not very strong, so its effect is soft and natural.

2. Silver reflector: Because the silver reflector is bright and smooth as a mirror, it can emit brighter light. In the case of poor light, the white reflector does not have such a strong effect.

3. Golden reflector: Use a golden reflector to fill the light in the sun. Like a silver reflector, it reflects light like a mirror, but in contrast to a cold-tuned silver reflector, it produces light with a warmer hue. Silver reflector can be used as auxiliary light and gold reflector as main light.
