    Thank you so much for all your tips!! I leveled up my portraits so much by just using the reflector and fixing my manual settings!! ❤❤🎉🎉🎉

    This biggest issue I have with this approach, is that using a bounce reflector from below is not showing how light naturally works. The main light source here is the sun filtering through the clouds. It would be more realistic if the reflector was being held/clamped from above. One could also, if the equipment was available, mount a speedlight on a stand and have a helper hold a diffusion panel in front of it. Again, this would have to come down towards the subject to look the most natural.

    5:38 I wish she would’ve showed the photo without the reflector so we could see the difference

      Yeah, not sure what showing us and telling us that she took the image without the reflector if we never got to see the comparison.

    Common wisdom is from above and at an angle

    • @jasonbodden8816
      @jasonbodden8816 Месяц назад

      Sometimes this works. It just depends exactly on where the light’s coming from. You can see here that he had no issues.

    Thanks for the video! But if you‘re doing shots for comparison (with/without reflector), it would make sense to also show them in the video😅

    • @HopeTaylor
      @HopeTaylor  Год назад +2

      Honestly, totally agree with you! But, the RAW files for those shots got accidentally deleted before we were able to insert them. You can still see the difference in just the video clips, though!
