The light reflector set can be used to soften harsh shadows in your product photography, especially if you are using natural lighting from outside or a window. This set comes with two independent reflector boards that can fold up like a book for easy storage. You can use the foil (gold or silver) on one side, and the white side on the other, so you can either use natural sunlight or a With bright, natural light, the foil sides work very well, but they do change the color of the shadows on the other side (golden or silver depending on the color you choose). You do need a stronger light to use the white sides and I typically find that you need to move the reflector closer to your subject for a brighter result. However, it enhances your subject and greatly reduces any harsh shadows resulting in a more noticeable image. Especially if you use these boards for photography of small items like products, these boards are a great investment. It's easy to use, portable, and takes your photography to the next level without costing a fortune. This is a product I would definitely recommend.
Since I'm a photographer, I came to believe that these boards would make a nice tabletop photography option. There are two boards that are like the backing from a hardcover book, and the silver, gold, and white surfaces are just paper attached to the blackboard. They fold flat and will stand up on their own since they are hard cardboard. It's important to know that gold and silver papers aren't overtly reflective, but they do function as reflectors reasonably well. In terms of quality, the boards seem to work and are not overly expensive. It's possible to make a similar product with supplies from a craft store, but the board takes the hassle out of it.

This type of colored board is useful in a few different ways. In addition to fills and backdrops, small products can also act as backgrounds. There are pros and cons to these lights. Pros they are very portable, and can be used as fill lights or to cut light Cons they are made of cardboard so they aren't as sturdy as they look.
Product photography can be made much easier with these cardboard reflector boards. The size of these very small light fixtures is 12"x8". They're ideal for close-up shots Several small items on a tabletop are seen up close. You will find two boards which fold in There are two different types of foil, one with gold outer foil and the other with silver, both of which are white on the inside. There is also a black side if you want to use negative fill (to darken a subject) or block a particular direction of light. There is no storage solution available to the players, other than a thin plastic sleeve that holds the boards. The boards are made of thick cardboard and are light and portable. In the case of regularly transporting these to a remote location, I would make a more protective case/pouch for them. I highly recommend these for improving the lighting of tabletop photography, because they are good quality and a decent value.
If you photograph products, you'll find these to be exceptionally useful. As you can see, the first folded piece has silver and black on one side and white on the other. The second folded piece has gold and black on one side and The smaller the subject, the better you can use these. I removed one star because I noticed that there are some folds and creases on one of the white sides of one of the pieces. Though this will really not affect the performance of this product when you are reflecting light with it, it does indicate a lack of quality control even though, as I mentioned, it does not directly impact it.
Using these simple but effective reflectors, you can take good looking tabletop photographs. Despite their excellent performance and easy carry and storage, they are very versatile and convenient to use. In addition to the gold reflections, there are silver ones as well. Likewise, both are available in a white and black size, making this set versatile and helpful for a wide array of lighting situations. This would have been a five star review were it not for the fact that my gold reflector arrived with several dents and It seems that this does not interfere with the light reflecting capabilities of the surface, but it prevents me from using it as a background for close-ups.
In this set you are able to choose between white, gold, and You have plenty of options to choose from to get a little extra reflection in your photograph. It is a small 8"x12" sheet, about the size of a standard piece of When you are out for a shoot, it is nice to move around a bit. It is possible for you to fold the boards over and stand them free-standing. White can also be used as a makeshift backdrop if you don't have one on hand. These are one of the most useful sets of light boards you can have.
The case is easy to carry around There's nothing bulky about it, and it doesn't take up much space, since it's thin and light.
