This is how I nail perfect lighting without an assistant.
Working alone doesn't mean compromising on lighting quality!
Today I'm sharing my favorite hack for holding your own reflector while shooting - plus the game-changing way to position it for that perfect clamshell lighting effect.
Pro tip: Getting the diffuser as close as possible to your subject and angling it down creates beautiful, soft light that looks amazing✨
Why this works:
- Creates soft, flattering light
- Gives you full control
- Perfect for solo shoots
- Works with in-body stabilization
