Hard reflectors in photography

The name “hard reflectors” reveals two important characteristics of these light shaping tools. As the name suggests, the reflectors themselves are hard – coated in high-quality metal and extremely durable. Secondly, they tend to create a harder light with a more distinct fall off than, for instance, a softbox or an umbrella.

Creatively they help you alter the contrast and the mood of your images by creating a number of lighting effects from direct, focused light with a distinct fall-off to a wider more even light spread across the image area. Their versatility makes them an essential light modifier.
