Reflectors (Contd..)
• The hard surface is a flat surface, either hand-held or stand-
mounted, with a polished surface reflecting either sunlight or
an artificial light.
• It is normally 4 feet x 2 feet in dimension and used outdoors in
soaps and commercials.
• It usually has both hard and soft reflectors pasted on to them on
either side to reflect the required kind of light.
• Mounted on stands, it can withstand winds and bounce light
exactly where desired.

Reflectors Indoors
• They can be used to bounce off strong light from a window or
even from artificial lights.
• We can use reflectors stands to mount when shooting a
stationary subject so reflectors are also used to fill in light in a
scene.
• The room ceiling can act as one of the best reflectors.
