The amazing power of the 5-in-1 reflector! 💪 💪 💪

Aaron's Favorite Reflector: amzn.to/2xnzUiB
Basically, the job of a 5-in-1 Reflector is to give you a few different options to diffuse and bounce light. The inner surface of these reflectors is almost always a diffusion panel, meant to have light shine through the light before it hits your subject. The outer surfaces come in a variety of colors - usually, you will see gold, silver, white and black. Each of these will bounce light in their own way.
Now, just because there is a product for photographers called a “5-in-1 Reflector,” that doesn’t meant you can’t use anything else to reflect or bounce light.
Aaron breaks down all the interesting ways you can use your 5-in-1.
Each month we will be sharing more Photography hacks for you to learn all the different tricks Aaron has learned over the last decade.

I love it how much is Phlearn lately more and more about photography (camera and light setup) tutorials and not just Photoshop editing.
Keep up the good job Aaron and the rest of the Phlearn gang!
It was the next natural step. I'd say shooting 600 Photoshop tutorials in six years is probably a good start, but now we need to expand into Photograpbhy more.
It was only a matter of time before they covered photoshop in it's entirety lol
I fell in love with this girl 🙄
Great tips and you’re great! Love and appreciate that you practically got straight the point and nice pace in delivering the tips and tricks
I use a 5-1 reflector disc to bounce light back into the shadows for quick portraits in my makeshift home studio. They really help and are really cost effective.
LOVED the last one!
Thanks for this, Aaron. Watching the video I was reminded of beauty photographer Nancy Brown's "head shot booth" - three 4x8 sheets of Fome-Cor and a small white artist's table. One studio light in a silver umbrella in front, another light on the 4x8 background. This was in the days of Kodachrome 25 and Agfapan 25. Just basic beauty lighting that "got out of the way" and let the model, clothing, hair, and props shine. I tried it and loved the b&w portraits I got with Agfapan (remember Rodinal?).
You're great Nace, also that model is stunning
Thank you for going straight to the point!
You guys are so awesome !
First of all, she pretty af, nearly every single picture came out a master piece haha
This is why i still watching your videos, you are awesome 👏👏👏
Still going strong six years later 😉
This channel is life!
❤❤❤
Thanks!
Do you have any interesting ways you use reflectors? I wanna know!
PHLEARN hold the middle reflector in front of the softbox
I use them as beds for my cats
Lolz
I use reflectors with my underwater photography! That way I don't get refraction on the models' faces, and it fills in shadowing better than underwater lighting.
Cool shirt Aaron. ;)
Great info, thanks!
Super ,Very Nice ,Congratulations,***
நன்றாக இருக்கிறது👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️வாழ்த்துக்கள் .........by R.MANOHAR
Hey Aaron, thank you for the tips !
Would you say that the modeling light is mandatory ? Or can we achieve similar results with cobra flash only ?
Brother, amaaaazing tips‼️💪🤯 Thank you
Awesome video as always. :) I was wondering what that heavy duty light stand you are using in the angel lighting portion is. Mostly I'm finally outgrowing my cheap 'chinesium' light stands and would like to upgrade to something solid that will last forever, but have no idea on where to start looking.
Cool video ... keep up the good work.
Really cool stuff
amazing video thanks!
This is awesome
I'm Brazilian and when I go to Chicago, I would love to visit your studio.
So nice
great video!
THIS CHANNEL IS MY PHOTOSHOP WORLD THNKZ "PHLEARN"
very informative
You are just amazing! Do you even have any idea how many people you have helped to improve including me :)
Thank you for the kind words 😃
Do you have specific angles of pointing out a reflector?
Hi I am looking to achieve some soft light with a softbox and 5 in 1 reflectors, but I feel I look greasy. Is that a light set up problem or a camera problem?
what are the best modes of shooting portraits @night in canon
Good video. Your model has just about perfect skin tone :-) She looks like you could do a close up portrait and use a Nikon 85mm or the new 105 :-)
Or 7. Thanks for the bonus!
Once, I used a white vinyl fence for a key light, and a sheet of plywood for my reflector.
That's awesome! I don't think most new photographers realize how many different things you can hack together to use as a reflector, light source, light stand, etc... The possibilities are endless.
Isn't look 3 the same as simply using a softbox, or have I missed something? Either way, a great video on multiple ways of reflecting / softening light for portraiture.
Got the reflectors and light stand but where do I get the "knuckle" or holder apparatus?
B&H
Any ideas on self portraits?
Sir tell me how we can camera raw filter panel in Photoshop with the layer panel
You can find the camera raw filter in the filter panel, window hot keys are Shift+Ctrl+A. I hope this helps.
6:11 what kind of boom stick is that ?
👌
Hi! What kind of background do you use?!
It's a large black sheet of paper.
how do i get hold of you?
Hmm, very nice video.
how can i contact you.
I miss the pony tail.... oh, and nice lesson!
Whats the thing that goes on the top of the stand that holds the reflector?
Im totally in love with that girl in the video
Are u able to ship this product to Africa?
we probably need to use this idea
Derrick Files Ug It is available on amazon you can search for 5 in 1 reflector
Like !
Good guide. Very beautiful women
please what's her instagram?
For a pragrammer that are actually 6 ways. We count the 0, you count the 5 (two times :D ). But still nice video
I actually went to high school with that girl.
i hope i know her too :(
My bell wasn't activated! Is now.
🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
6 ways, huh? :D
Yup, snuck another one in there.
I think that girl in the video is somehow related to Aaron
Wait I know that girl
who is she ?
Aaron, I couldn't hear anything you said. Your shirt was too loud.
+Danny Hopkin That's not even his loudest. That's like a 6 out of 10 on the loud scale.
I'll be anxious to see a 10 on the next video :)
Why 6?
😂
So fast... unable to understand
Useful but the presenter speaks too quick !
