K&F Concept 5-in-1 Round Reflector 56 cm

The K&F Concept round reflector with a 56 cm diameter combines five surfaces in one: a translucent panel and a reversible zip cover with gold, silver, white and black sides. It folds down to 24 cm and travels in the included bag – for portraits, weddings and product shots.

A reflector returns light where it is missing: it opens up the shadow under the chin, adds a catchlight to the eyes or, the other way round, takes light away. The 5-in-1 version does this without five separate reflectors – the translucent panel is the base and a cover slips over it, with four coloured sides to switch between as needed.

The round shape without sharp corners gives softer, more natural light with fewer hard shadow edges than a square reflector.

Folded into a bag on your back

The frame twists into a 24 cm circle in one move and the reflector disappears into the included bag. For travel and location work you can clip it to your backpack.

Light where you need it

An assistant holds the reflector next to the model (or you clamp it in a holder on a light stand) and bounces sunlight or studio light into the shadows with the silver or white side. The translucent panel held overhead softens the midday sun.

Five effects in one reflector

• translucent panel – held above the subject to soften direct sunlight
• white cover – brightens shadows with soft, neutral light
• gold cover – adds warm fill light
• silver cover – brightens both shadows and highlights for more contrast
• black cover – subtracts light and deepens shadows

Which side to use

The white side reflects less light than the silver one, so you can place the reflector closer to the subject without overexposing. Silver suits situations that need more light and contrast, while gold gives skin a warmer tone. The black side takes light away from one side and emphasises the shape of the face. The translucent panel can also be placed in front of a light or flash and used as a diffuser.
