Reflector Panels, Light Meters, and Other Lighting EquipmentReflector Panels, Light Meters, and Other Lighting Equipment
Reector panels help illuminate the faces of back-lit subjects and
other areas where light tends to be lacking. Reector panels can also
be used to soften complexions and facial expressions. Add a light
meter to measure light levels and calculate exposure. Other choices
for diuse lighting include diusers and softboxes. Bring what you’ll
need for the task at hand.
