What are the materials for making the reflector
At the scene of filming movies and TV dramas, we can often see the staff holding a large white or silver board to fill in the light on the characters. This board is the reflector. The function of the reflector is to fill the dark part of the character with reflected light to obtain a good image effect. The reflector is not only an indispensable tool for filming and TV dramas, but also an indispensable auxiliary tool for photography.
Materials for making reflectors
Commercially available photographic reflectors come in a variety of sizes, materials, and prices, but they all serve the same purpose. Many models of reflectors can be folded and disassembled for good portability.
Since the function of the reflector is to reflect light, in a sense, anything that can reflect light can be called a reflector. For example, mirror, aluminum foil, silver paper, white cloth, white wall, etc. The reflected light of aluminum foil is strong, and the reflected light of white cloth is soft. If you apply color on the reflector, the reflected light will have color.
Reflectors made of the same material, large reflectors reflect softer light due to their large area, but large reflectors are not suitable for shooting small subjects. What size reflector should I use when photographing? Generally, a reflector that is about half the size of the subject is used. In addition, if you use a reflector outdoors, it is best to choose a heavier and stronger reflector, which has strong wind resistance.
Amateur photographers can make their own reflectors from waste. For example, use a piece of thick cardboard with a diameter of about 60-80 cm and cover it with a white cloth to make a white reflector; Pay attention to use double-sided tape or glue to stick it flat) to make a silver reflector, so that one reflector has two functions, which is practical and free of money. Handy readers can even make a foldable reflector that's easy to carry.
There are many ways to make DIY reflectors

2. The complex is sewn with white and gray, or gold cloth and then put on the steel ring! Can be folded! Easy to carry!
