![]() ![]() ![]() I don't trust a reflected meter reading except when using a spot meter to read shadows and highlights for calculating exposure latitude (similar to the zone method). Never meter off of a bride's white dress, as doing so will turn it gray. Meter as needed for your artistic vision. It should go without saying that you must have a light source shining into the reflector if it is going to reflect light back toward the eyes. I would think that something around 36" would work just fine. If working with very low light, you might want to line it with the non-shiny side of aluminum foil to improve reflectivity. White will give a nicely diffused reflection. Regardless of what I would do, foamcore will work just fine. I would buy a silver/white reflector because they are convenient, easy to stow, and I know that I would use it again. Are the "people" going to be individual shots (or couple of people) or larger groups? I'd say otherwise you could probably get away with foam. Reflector may be what you need if it's a Halloween set. Next week, in the woods, sounds scarry to me. Do some test with what you have, that's your cheapest road right now. The result will depend on your lighting and the effect you are after. Reflectors have various type of finish but typically the light reflected is much harder. ![]() Why and why not what are the main differences?Īlso on this shoot the people will be wearing white shirts in a wooded tree leafed background.Should I meter off from their shirts as you would for a bride or not?Īny suggestions would be greatly appreciated!įoam board is much softer. I have a shoot to do next week and was wondering I can use a piece of foam board that I have to reflect some light into the eyes or should I just buy a reflector? ![]()
