The description of this video from Profoto, really says it all.  And, nobody teaches this stuff better than Profoto's John Williamson.

Photography is all about light. Soft, hard, specular and diffused, the foundation of the final image is the light. Expanding your arsenal of lighting is a powerful way to improve and enhance your photography; and adding reflectors to your repertoire is a good way to start.

During this webinar, photographer and Profoto Evangelist John D. Williamson will demonstrate different styles of reflectors and how and why to use them. Covering everything from a standard reflector to the beauty dish, John will discuss the different shapes and surfaces available and show how to uses them to their full advantage.

If you've spent any time with John Williamson, you know that there are only a few people who can make studio lighting as easy to understand than John. He's a terrific instructor and in this archived video from Profoto he's going to take you through the basics and help you build a solid foundation to build on.  Just remember, you need to practice and you need hands-on experience. Just watching webinars and videos are great, but they're only part of the equation in helping you understand different aspects of the skill set you're working so hard to build.
