Got That Photo Tip - Reflector Panel

Check out this great tip on how a simple Reflector Panel can transform a whole session!

Q: I’ve always loved the natural, elegant look of early evening sunset portraits. However, the low angle of the sun set behind my subject requires me to use flash, which tends to create an artificial, harsh look that takes away the authetic, golden light cast by the sun. How to keep the subject lit naturally?

A: Great lighting is, of course, the path to great portraits! The secret to capturing the same light cast by the sun (which, as you say, is now behind the subject) is to use a reflector panel to cast it back around to the subject! Typically, one should use the same colored reflector as the color of the natural light source. Have this set up correctly, and your portraits will shine!

That’s pretty much all the information we were given to design a logo and business cards for the business start up. So that night we sat down and ground out the process that begins with any of our design projects’ bottom line. “How will the unique, memorable, and professional nature of our client’s service attract and hold potential customers interest?” The answer: Capturing the essence of that service by creating a visual representation that will leap out to a customer’s eye, and cause a brain process that will instill a long-lasting association of our client’s services meeting their customer’s needs. To get from a generic and easily thought up bottom line like this to a working logo, we asked
