STOP using a reflector like THIS | Get better photos NOW!

Thank you for watching and I really hope you enjoyed this. We have seen so many people STILL use reflectors incorrectly and it’s quite shocking...so we decided to put this little tutorial together. Is this the best reflector for video, well, any 5 in 1 reflector is perfect, you just need to know how to use it.
Like I said, a reflector from the bottom is not completely incorrect, however it was never designed to reflect the sun onto your subject from the bottom...I have no idea how people have assumed that its normal to do this LOL
Here is the gear I used in the video:
- Reflector - geni.us/5in1Reflectors
- Reflector bracket/holder - geni.us/ReflectorArm (this is better than the one I had in the video, same price, just more useful for and sturdier)
- Light stand - geni.us/LightStandSilver (my preferred light stand)
- GH6 camera body - geni.us/PanaGH6
- Sigma 56mm lens used - geni.us/Sigma56MFT

Thank you so much.. for the simple and sweet video of understanding how to use reflector, diffuser and golden sheet for natural light photography

[@RICH_Photography]

You are so welcome! Glad I could help :)

[@Scripture-Man]

Awesome! I always thought the idea was to target the shadows, but you've shown me that overhead reflector can look even better. Great video. Your wife is very beautiful!

[@RICH_Photography]

Thank you so much! Glad I could help and really appreciate the kind words. She’s become my professional model without payment lately 😜

[@Scripture-Man]

@@RICH_Photography She is glorious :-)

[@user-ry4il7fj7e]

No wonder why I've had bad luck with reflectors. I just went into my studio and followed this advice. Much better. His comparison to a soft box made so much sense

[@RICH_Photography]

I’m so glad I could help and open your eyes to the reflector life lol It’s crazy how many people hold reflectors in the wrong position. But now you know, go out and make epic shots ♥️

[@patchpaddy]

Thank you, packed full of information and pro tips. Keep up the good work (please) 😉

[@RICH_Photography]

You're so welcome! So glad you enjoyed it and really trying to keep the videos with those pro tips that you don't find everywhere else 😉 Will definitely keep them coming 👌👍🔥

[@imagesbydavide]

[@andrewp1513]

Thank you Rich. Great video

[@RICH_Photography]

You're welcome, thanks for watching, appreciate the kind words and support.

[@kdawg925]

Very helpful Rich! I don’t use my reflector much, but now I’ll have a little more comfort and confidence knowing this tidbit. How are you liking the GH6 for photography?

[@RICH_Photography]

So glad I could help. I love the GH6 for photography, honestly I'd love to pick up another one and put my G9 permanently for filming youtube videos...but the rumour of the G9 mark ii has me knowing I need that with my GH6 for photography...I've always loved to cameras to shoot with and 2 to film with. The bonus on the GH6 is definitely the 14 bit raw files, way more space to play in editing.

[@mtleealex]

great video rich keep it up the good work

[@user-pu7hs8co6v]

What should I do in backlight situation?

[@lukemarkert7172]

Great video. Can you provide a link for or name of the large round articulating piece that attaches the reflector bracket to the light stand?

Thanks sir

[@RICH_Photography]

You're welcome 🙏

[@roycebrown5642]

Nice video

[@RICH_Photography]

Thank you, really glad you enjoyed it.

[@JoshKaufmanstuff]

This seems to make sense, but what I can't figure out is .. . why do photo rules not matter for video? There must be more to it because we can clearly see the model in the video before the photo comparison and the video doesn't have as much of a problem with the exposure ? 🤔

[@Justas49]

This is why there is Ra in photogRApher. Because You use reflector above your head like an Egypt god RA has a sun on his shoulder 😂

[@RICH_Photography]

🤣 love that...actually had to Google the Egyptian God RA to make sure 🤣

[@Scripture-Man]

That's also why it's called photograpHER, because women make much better subjects :D

[@RICH_Photography]

@Scripture-Man brilliant 👌😂

[@kevinlane7555]

I use mine as a trampoline for gerbils

[@RICH_Photography]

As long as the gerbils are having fun 🐹

[@JosephRossPhotography]

Just had a 25 headshot shoot Saturday I held the defuser over my client shooting at an unideal time 12 noon.

[@RICH_Photography]

I'm sure the shots came out epic!! Diffused sun looks absolutely amazing, and the true skin tones you get from diffused son is so accurate 👌

[@JosephRossPhotography]

@@RICH_Photography yes sir !!! Your video was very informative and engaging, I’m new to the channel and I appreciate your content.

[@janlourens4123]

Hi

[@RICH_Photography]

Hey 👋

[@meatdiggy1]

you over edited

[@RICH_Photography]

Literally most shots are straight out of camera.
