What are your questions about working with reflectors?

[@michaelschmitt5413]

Really nice video and very well explained. Appreciate the quality. And the portraits were awesome.

[@BandH]

Thanks for watching! Glad you're enjoying the series.

[@sigurdrille9693]

Thank you! The reflector and diffuser give you a very natural look that really blends well with the environment/background. The downside is the handling when you’re on your own and/or in windy conditions. I really like your series, simple and effectively explained.

Slowing down is so important

[@lifeoflemus]

The only reason I don’t use reflectors is that I don’t have an assistant. They are counterproductive trying to use solo.

[@captainboeingmatt3464]

Westcott do a reflector stand that's very solid

[@thomastuorto9929]

@@captainboeingmatt3464I knew that was coming. And it is so true. The only reason not to do it without an assistant if you don’t want to be bothered.

[@RexD-iw4df]

The repeated commentary about dark skin was a bit much for me and completely unnecessary.

[@scothu]

He's saying the gold side works ok with dark skin but not light skin because light skin would become too orange. It's important information
