5 in 1 reflector

Today I decided to test out the Interfit reflector kit I recently purchased. This kit came with 5 different types of reflectors (silver, gold, black, white/transparent) . I decided to use natural light but with natural sunlight comes harsh directional light. In order to control the light and to get rid of the harsh lighting you can use a reflector or a diffuser. The reflector will reflect light into the shadows on the subject and the diffuser will soften the light. The reflector needs to be placed on the opposite side of the light source and the diffuser has to be place in between the subject and the light source. Today I only used the silver reflector. This picture was taken around 7pm when the sun was setting and therefore the light is coming from the right. My daughter doesn't stay still and therefore you cant see the light on her face but you can see it more on the back of her head (Picture 1). The picture with the reflector shows how the lighting on her face/back of her head is now more even (Picture 2).
