Reflectors & Diffusers
Reflectors
Reflectors are used to redirect light back on to the subject, whether it is natural or flash. Reflected light can bring an image alive especially when using a shaded subject and lighting them with reflected harsh sunlight.
The Different surface will give slightly different results use
Gold or Sunfire - for warmth to the light added by the gold stripes
SIlver or Soft Silver - for sharping and cooling the light
White or Diffusers - for a softening the light or adding very little reflected light
Tri Grip & Reflectors
The expanded range of TriGrip reflectors now come with a new moulded handle with securing strap, allowing even more accurate positioning of the reflector with one hand. This means that light can be directed to all those awkward spots e.g. under the chin
and eyes without the need for stands or supports. The new moulded Tri Grip handle allows for even greater control when positioning the reflector. The Velcro fastening straps provide a more secure grip even in the most
demanding conditions. The securing straps also allow you to support the reflector
without actually gripping the handle, reducing the pressure on your wrist and fingers
when held for prolonged periods.

Diffusion
Diffusion panels and screens are used to diffuse harsh light like sunlight or direct flash, so as to soften the harsh lighting effect and hence giving a more pleas able lighting result on the face.
I always buy the bigger Diffusion Panels (they are still reffered to as reflectors) and Diffussion Tri Grips as it allows me to use them as portable softboxes as well as diffusers of sunlight. The Large Diffusion Panels are also ideal to put on the put side of a window on a sunny day
