Default Lighting Thoughts!

Al lot of discussion have been on using diffusers with "direct" lighting. Often resulting in hot spots (reflections) that just wont go a way. Why not turn your lights around and face them away for your "subject"... Yep turn them away from marble or bead, and use a WHITE reflector to bounce a softer light back on subject.

By using a curved reflector you can even further concentrate or diffuse the light... Something as simple as a piece of WHITE printer paper can be a effective reflector...
