    Thanks to the suggestions from you guys, here is a follow-up video on how to fold the Godox Reflector back into the round bag. It also guides you on how to fold a softbox as well, both follows a similar Logic. Check it out before you start setting up your reflector! th-cam.com/video/_XMn9ImaXAI/w-d-xo.html

      Thank you for your video on reflectors. I've noticed some very successful photography TH-camrs not use use them or even ND filters on bright sunny for portraits but give up and pack it in basic 101 photography.

    You can also put your camera on a tripod and use a remote trigger, this way you have more control over the light when using a reflector/light. Just another option

    I'm thinking of getting a triangle style reflector to attach to a tripod or should I get clamshell ?

      by clamshell, I assume that you are talking about two soft boxes?

    Something I struggle with always. Thanks for the video. Just a suggestion, can you make the audio a little louder for your videos?

    • @BelindaJiao
      @BelindaJiao  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      thank you so much for pointing this out Shubhangi, much appreciated. I was not using any external mics for my older videos, so that's probably why the audio is softer. But will keep this in mind for future vids! thanks a ton for the suggestion

    • @BelindaJiao
      @BelindaJiao  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey there, yes i understand it would be helpful to see the before and after. These were client shoots so I couldn’t afford to take away the reflector, but to give you a bit more perspective, large reflectors work especially well, even at 50mm distances under sunny days and perhaps intense afternoon light :) hope that helps!

      @@BelindaJiao I actually just bought one that is pretty huge like yours! I'm just starting out and this is my first reflector I've purchased. I didn't expect it to be so big and I saw that people would hire assistants to help them but that isn't an option for me, for now at least. So I stumbled upon your video and seeing your advice made me feel less discouraged and the tips you gave were very helpful 🙏
