White fabric reflects the light most naturally making it our most popular reflector and a great tool to start with. It gives you a soft, natural light that is ideal for outdoor portraits when the sun is strong, or in studio shoots when you’re using flash. To get the best effect from the white reflector it should be placed in fairly close proximity to your subject.

The metallic gold fabric creates a warmer light with a lower color temperature. For example, if you’re taking a sunset portrait but you need to compensate for the sun dropping too low, the gold reflector can provide the warmth you need to get the shot.
