How can I use reflectors to improve my product photography?

Using reflectors can enhance your product photography by bouncing light onto your subject, reducing shadows and highlighting details. What type of products are you photographing?

I'm mainly shooting jewelry and small accessories.

For jewelry, a white reflector can help create soft, even lighting. You can position it opposite your light source to fill in shadows. Have you tried using different colored reflectors?

Not yet, what difference do they make?

Colored reflectors can add a unique tint to your highlights, which can enhance the mood of your photos. For example, a gold reflector can add warmth, while a silver one can create a cooler look. Would you like tips on how to set them up?

Yes, please! How should I position them?

Position your reflector at an angle to your product, ideally about 45 degrees from the light source. Experiment with distance to see how it affects the light. Would you like to know about DIY reflector options?
