5-in-1 Reflectors are incredibly useful tools for controlling and creating light, both in-studio and on location. Fovitec 5-in-1 Reflectors feature a steel band covered with white translucent diffuser fabric and a reversible slipcover that provides you with 4 additional light modifiers: Gold, Silver, White, and Black. When not in use, reflectors fold up to 1/3rd their size, making them perfect travel companions.
Diffuser
Softens light, creating a more flattering light on your subject. Often times, simply softening and redirecting harsh sunlight is all that needs to be done to create stunning, natural-looking portraits.
Gold
Casts a warm glow of light and is best used outside during the golden hour when the setting sun naturally casts a warmer light.
Silver
Increases specular highlights, adds contrast, and creates defined shadows. Being the most reflective surface, the silver reflector can evenly balance out the harsh shadows of the sun when used up close and can project light farther than other reflective surfaces.
White
Arguably the most flattering reflective surface because of the soft quality of light it produces. White reflectors cast very soft, even light on your subjects that help smooth out skin tones and imperfections. As white is not as reflective as silver, white reflectors need to be used at relatively close distances and are ideal for close-up portraits and headshots. White can also be used to create a clean background for small product and macro photography.
Black
Used to block, or cut light altogether or to absorb reflected light. This surface can be used to completely block out directional light, like the sun, to even out your exposure, or it can be used to limit the amount of reflected light from your primary light source, creating strong shadows and a dramatic look to your images. Black can also be used to create a clean background for small product and macro photography.
