Got a Reflector in Your Gear Bag?

I love these "What's the Difference?" videos from Profoto. In each one Jared Platt takes you through the process of how he's shooting and then shares the changes in the image, usually in a with-or-without format.

It's a mini-educational series, typically done in three minutes or less and always making a point about how to improve the quality of your own images.

This particular video hits on the use of a reflector. While both images might be considered acceptable, the wrap around light definitely adds a feel to the portrait that "Uncle Harry" couldn't get. In fact, Jared's comment says it all,

                                      "Having a reflector in your pack is a great way to turn two lights into three!"

Profoto isn't just a great lighting company, they're a team focused on helping photographers raise the bar on their skill set and images. You'll find a lot of helpful videos from Jared as well as dozens of educators and artists from around the world on the Profoto channel on YouTube. 

​And, make sure you bookmark their blog. There's new content posted several times a week and all stories about artists from around the world pushing the edge of the creative envelope.
