This week I am giving away a few things I feel are either very essential to photography or just plain fun. Today’s giveaway is for something I strongly believe should be in every photographer’s closet/car – a reflector.
Why use a reflector? They help reflect light back on to your subject, fill in shadows, filter out strong sunlight and more. I adore my reflectors, and recently bought one that I can’t believe I’ve managed without so long.
When I went to the Flash Bus workshop last year, they showed us the Lastolite reflectorthat you can hold with one hand and manipulate in different positions. At first I was like “oh, that’s great, but it’s too expensive.” However, now that I have it, I can honestly say it really is worth the money (the set I’m giving away is $115).
In addition to being super user friendly with the handle that allows you to hold the reflector out, up, down, every which way, it comes with several covers thatΒ you can put on it to create different temperature or intensity of light, and the base is a filter.
I have sick children, a private in-person workshop and upcoming trip to Chicago, so I don’t have time to do a demo of how to use it, but I will come back later and do another post on it.
In the meantime, how about I give one away?
To enter to win the Lastolite 30′ 8-1 reflector set, simply tell me where you are right now when entering (like on the couch at home, at the office, in the grocery store on my iPhone, etc.).

In bed, hopping around the web. I’ve had an interesting year, Amanda. It’s included some surgery on my brain. At least I know for sure I have one now, but I do have some memory loss and I’m just learning my camera all over. I still follow your blog and I’m happy to see that you are doing so well! Hope to come to a workshop soon. I still have all my notes from the video workshops to refresh my memory. All my best, Jan
