David Schuurman Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Well, I think the most effective way is to use a mirror. But that'll be a very hard light. how close can it be to your subject? I would use a reflector disk on the white setting probably. or set up as large a white reflector as possible. I've used pieces of paper, I've used white bristol board, I've used 4x8 styrofoam sheets, I've used white bedsheets...really anything you have access to.

Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted April 9, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 9, 2015 Depends on the look you want and how close you are to the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Miguel Angel Posted April 10, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hello!I did this with a 1.5 meters by 1.5 meters mirror kind of 10 meters away if I remember correctly. I think mirrors are very versatile and if you think that the light which goes to the character is very hard you can always diffuse it. Have a lovely day.
