Hi. In this clip, I'm going to talk a little bit about, talk a little bit more about using
the reflector properly. If we look at the model here, I'm going to use this gold reflector,
which gives a little bit more of a warm light and you can see the light moving across her
body. That's as an assistant, that's how you tell where your light is falling. You've got
the bright spot right there on her neck, a little too bright. So, I'm going to feather
it or just take it out a little bit so that I'm filling the shadow in, but it's not so
bright as to overpower the light and look a little funny. What I'd like you to do is
sit this way, Alex. Just kind of hands up, just look at me like that. Look at me, nice,
perfect smile, open smile, nice, chin up a little, great. You look fantastic. Run your
hands through your hair a little bit. Nice, keep doing that. Great. Nice. Great. Lens,
if we can get the light just slightly softer on her, feather it, perfect. Nice Alex, hold
right there, fabulous. Remember, when using a reflector, you can choose several different
sides, white for softer, silver for harsher, gold for warmer. And don't always hit them
directly with the light, but feather it a little bit to get exactly what you need. Lower
the contrast, fill the shadows and you're going to get a great photograph.
