Favourite/least favourite reflector or shaper

[paul williams]

For me the two things I use the most are a 150cm white brolly and my fresnel spot with variable iris. My least used/liked go to the purpose designed back-ground reflector & my 40cm beauty dish, can't remember the last time I felt the need to use either of those.

You have a 4cm beauty dish?...no wonder you dont use it often!!

I love my Elinchrom 44cm Beauty dish, my favourite modifier, wouldn't be without it for headshots.

Least favourite....umbrellas....they throw light everywhere and I'm a bit of a control freak

Still struggling with this metric stuff - of course it should have been 150cm brolly and 40cm dish.

Dunno...
I suppose the least useful one to me personally is the barn doors, but I have a very full range and seem to use them all.

Favourites by far are large beauty dishes and fresnel spot

Hi Garry,

would you say the silvered or the white beauty dish would be the most versatile? I want to have a look at these on Monday at the NEC Focus on Imaging.

Silver - but come and see for yourself

Favourite? Anything with grids on. The light does what I tell it

Least favourite? Anything that has recently hit me on the head when the wind changed direction. Beauty dish ATM then (though I like the light from it).
