Double or triple your light sources? Easy! Using reflectors allows you to reflect light from your one light source to your subject from any angle, as if you had multiple lights. Think about it... your light and three reflectors equals 4 light sources. All that light control at a fraction of the cost of more lighting equipment. Lighting with reflectors has always been one key to quality photography. If the photography looks top dollar, then your product will bring top dollar. For instance, an Ebay® auction of a small lamp or $10,000 jewelry collection can be enhanced so it will look it's value and more. It's all about presentation! A quality light source and reflectors will garner more money for you. I use LIGHTRIGHT® table top reflector system. HINTS: ALWAYS use a telephoto lens - not a wide angle lenses as it will distort your subject. MATCH your camera setting to the light source you're using, i.e., Flash daylight or daylight balanced bulbs or window light shining on your kitchen table. The lighting you see on the subject is what the camera sees. Place the LIGHTRIGHT reflectors; so they will bounce that light back to give you a edge, a front fill, or light up a dark area. LIGHTRIGHT® table top reflector system with its sliding magnetic adjusting light control stays where you place it; you adjust the lighting to your satisfaction. Watch Lightright® time lapse movie on youtube, search lightright for actual lighting control on a difficult black, chrome and light gray subject. These are the perfect reflectors; they are so easy to use and you don't need to buy more lights.
