Preguntas Frecuentes
What is the difference between a softbox and umbrella?
Softboxes provide directional control and defined shape; umbrellas create broader, more scattered light.
What is a beauty dish?
Large, shallow dish modifier creating controlled soft light with defined catch lights and slight directional focus.
Why use a reflector instead of a fill light?
Reflectors are cheaper, simpler, and create natural-looking fill light without additional power sources.
What is the difference between gold and silver reflectors?
Silver reflects cool light without color change; gold adds warm color cast, ideal for warm-toned portraits.
