how to use a reflector when it comes to photography?
i've recently learned about reflectors and what they are used for, but I can't seem to understand how or where to position them. Is there a certain way or should I just mess around with it to determine the best possible positions depending on where the subject is standing/sitting?
Reflectors are there to "bounce" light back onto the subject.
How you position them depends on where the light is and where you want it to fall or what part of the subject you want to push some extra light into.
Practice and experimentation is how you learn.
