Today I will be giving you an overview of the Westcott 301 Photo Basics 5-in-1 reflector.

The Westcott 301 5-in-1 reflector can be used in 5 different ways, i’m sure you have guessed this from its name but I think it’s worth mentioning anyway.

• The silver side gives specula highlights which are perfect for a high contrast image.  This side is very useful for shooting video recordings and also black and white images.
• The gold side gives a natural look and also adds warmth to an image.  This side can be used to replicate the sun.
• The white side can be used for two different styles.  The first style can be used to bounce light off, this gives much softer light and softer shadows.  The second usage of the white side is to diffuse harsh light.  This gives the light a broader source making it much softer and it allows the light to wrap around your subject.
• The black side of the reflector can be used as a flag to block or subtract light from your image.

The Westcott 301 5-in-1 reflector kit can be used either for studio or location photography.  This 40 inch reflector can also be folded down to a third of its size and can be neatly tucked away in the carry case provided.

The Westcott 301 5-in-1 reflector is perfect for those photographers looking to add more light to their photos without purchasing another flash or studio light which can be very expensive.

The 5-in-1 reflector weighs only 1.8 pounds and measures 13.5 x 13.5 x 1 inches when folded.

Let’s take a look at some review snippets from Amazon.com:

“If you do portraits, you want to make sure you cover the shadows and with a smaller one it’s a little harder to aim. I also like that the translucent part of this is big enough to cover a whole person without standing too close to them. Also the large size lets you use this as a background for a headshot or closeup…” Read Full Review Here

“Let’s face it, this is a reflector. It really does everything I could ask out of it. It is solid and well made. The slip is easily reversed and I noticed no problems with the zipper, as I had read in other comments. I say that this is a very nice product…” Read Full Review Here
