Light is critical to photography. From the physics of capturing an image to the rendering of the subject it's role is composition is critical in so many ways. So being able to manipulate and shape that light is so important to a photographer, and tools like this versatile reflector can make a massive difference to capturing an image.

The reflector comes packed in a compact circular bag. When taking the reflector out it will unfold itself to it's full 80cm size. This is done via a circular tensioned ring, like you get with pop up tents. To pack it away again it is a case of twisting it to fold it into a smaller diameter circle. This takes a little practice but is actually quite easy once you are used to it. The reflector is made of two parts. An outer cover, which is reversible with white, black, silver and gold panels, and the centre section which is a white translucent diffuser. The overall quality is pretty good. The size is well suited to portrait photography. You may get away with it in a studio environment for full figures but nothing more. My only real criticism is that there are limited ways to mount or support it. A few more eyelets and maybe some Velcro straps would be handy.

A versatile tool that's perfect for the portrait photographer on the go.
