      Easy to use! Just add some light from the sun or a studiolight and reflect it to the other side of your motive to get a wellbalanced light to your scene. Use the silver side to reflect your studioflashes and the golden side when shooting outdoors in the sun. Using an assistent to hold it or a lightstand with a discholder makes it even easier. Takes some practise to fold together, but once you learn the trick, it´s an easy pick!

              This product is the perfect size for photographing smaller closeup items outside including people to improve lighting those dark shadows. It's fit nicely into my backpack once I've wrestled it back into the carrying pouch it comes with.

                I use this product for my photography business i just started up. It's a great starter purchase to hide the sun and reflect it in darker areas! :] It's so great because it collapses into this tiny carrier that fits perfect wherever you are going. I can't really think about anything that is wrong with it besides maybe making it fold back down to its tiny size lol. Just a couple twists and you got it though! i love this product and recommend it to experienced or starters of photography!

                  I bought this reflector so I could have some thing portable to do my occasional street sessions when I don't want / need to drag out other gear for minor lighting needs. This reflector works well here and and fits easily in my slingbag. Carrying case is nicely included.

                    Used in order to bring color and reflection/light to the desired spots in my photos to make them even better!

                    Absolutely loved it. Had fun playing around with the different angles and seeing the sun bounce off my subject in different ways.

                      I really like this reflector! I used it outside under some trees, and it helped even out that harsh dappled lighting effect that's so hard on peoples faces!

                            I use this reflector for fill in for a lot of window lit shots. It folds down compact enough to fit in my camera bag and weighs next to nothing, so I can always carry it with me.

                            It's a simple device, made very well, I don't have anything negative to say about it!

                              I needed a reflector as I found myself doing senior photos and wanted to capture a warmer tone and reduce hightlights. After reviewing a number of products and reading a review or two, I purchased this Bowen product. It resolved the two problems I was encountering and gave my subjects a warmer tonal quality. It springs open very quickly. Can be a little warmer than necessary but gets the job done.

                                  How used: outdoor shots of people and close-up nature shots
                                  Pros: Very handy size to use. Fits perfectly in the laptop compartment of my Tamrac Camera backpack.
                                  Cons: I feel like I've got two left hands trying to get it folded back up and back into the carry case. lol.

                                  Great product... really enjoying it and the added "bounce" to low light situations. Would recommend (and have done so)!

                                    The 32" reflector is an excellent piece of equipment that enables a amateur photographer to facilitate interesting lighting schemes without the expensive lighting equipment. In addition, it is light weight and easily transported. A great value.

                                          Accessories shouldn't break your bank, and thankfully, Bowens delivers quality and affordability here. The reflector is double-sided, it works great, and it's very portable. It folds up into a nice tight cylinder that is easy to pack up and carry around. Great value for the price.

                                            Neatly folds up and fits into it's included case. Product reflects well and the ability to switch between warm and silver light is amazing.
