That's why reflectors appeal to me so much, because I can avoid that eye glaring/squinting light, of course I don't try to balance the ambient light out totally. I like to use white, very large soft fabric reflectors - they offer a fine soft light which envelopes the subject & creates a nice mood & atmosphere. I also use gold reflectors to warm up color film without needing to resort to warming filters. (& I love using diffusers as well) Let me know if that clears up things regards Frederic You Wrote: "Frederic, reflectors are great for those reasons, however they can be very harsh when used to light a pretty girls face. Invariably I get complaints about the intensity of the light. Nobody likes to be blinded."
