A portrait photography reflector is a great tool but for beginners can be very overwhelming when you don't know a lot about how to use photography reflectors.
✨✨Are you on the INSIDE? Check out thephotoinsiders.com - EXCLUSIVE video content and learning community for photographers✨✨
Here is how to use reflectors and what reflectors are for photography and especially portrait photography. Here I break down 4 different reflectors for portrait photography and wedding photography and what makes them unique, different, and how to use a reflector in this natural light photography tutorial shoot.
You SHOULD definitely check out this video on Photography Reflectors. Watch this first BEFORE YOU BUY! I'll give you a tour and a photoshoot tutorial for reflectors.
Hope you enJoy!

These are all Lastolite reflectors, since I was commissioned to make this video for their RU-vid and app, but my hope is that you see the difference of each of these types of reflectors and what makes them useful, why some reflectors are large, why some are small, what type of compactness each has, etc. I personally use the Lastolite Trigrip and Halo reflectors constantly.

I recently bought the Lastolite SkyRapid 2x2 scrim. Yes, its a little more complicated to put up and needs a small team to look after it, but it has given me the nicest diffused light I've ever shot. Oh, and somebody needs to make a video about how to put the frame back in the hard case since thats a whole new challenge in itself!

I love opening those bottle top style reflectors. You always look so professional by flicking your wrist (Not required, obviously, but it looks cooler) and having it spring open. Those that Halo and tri-grip I'm definitely jealous of those....and may end up buying them. Not gonna lie. Thanks for this demo Vanessa. Well done, as usual! Of course, it wouldn't be the same without Julianna!

Hi Vanessa, thank you for this super informative tutorial. I have a question for you: when you showed the bottle top you said not to hold it from below. With the skylite it seemed like he was holding it just like that though. What was the difference?
@VanessaJoy
@VanessaJoy 3 года назад
Her head/face was tilted down slightly, and the light was reflecting from not just below but also at and above eye level so all of that put together isn’t going to give her Halloween-lighting. :) good question!!

@longliveclassicmusic
@longliveclassicmusic 3 года назад
A lot depends on camera angle. If you consistently shoot from a lower angle, no grip works better with the hand below the camera. Vanessa, as you can see, shoots consistently from a fairly level or higher angle. I recently took my grip off to get an easier setup at a lower camera angle. This is how you'll see Lindsay Adler shoot 99.9% of the time.

Hi Vanessa. You mentioned that the photos shown are straight out of camera, but using a jpeg conversion from RAW. How are you doing that? I only ask because I can never get photos on my computer to look anything like they do on the back of the camera, no matter how much tweaking I do.

I pay for my models. They work hard especially for me since I typically hire a model for a full day and we shoot 10-12 videos in a day. Being a working photographer I can’t shoot only a video a day and have to plan full day shoots to bundle all of the video content I do :)
