2. Reflector (photography) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflector_(photography)

   A very common example of this technique is the traditional umbrella reflector, invented by George Larson, [4] typically having a gold, silver or matte white interior onto which a lamp fitted with a circular reflector is projected, providing a broad, soft illumination. The lamp faces away from the scene to be photographed, allowing only ...

3. Beauty dish - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_dish

   The beauty dish is used in portrait and fashion photography, because it is the best modifier for concentrating light on a subject and creating a better image than other modifiers. Because the beauty dish wraps the light around the subject it gives the image a better contrast and highlights angles that other modifiers wouldn't be able to ...

4. Reflecting telescope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflecting_telescope

   A reflecting telescope (also called a reflector) is a telescope that uses a single or a combination of curved mirrors that reflect light and form an image. The reflecting telescope was invented in the 17th century by Isaac Newton as an alternative to the refracting telescope which, at that time, was a design that suffered from severe chromatic ...

5. Photographic lighting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_lighting

   Photographic lighting refers to how a light source, artificial or natural, illuminates the scene or subject that is photographed; put simply, it is lighting in regards to photography. Photographers can manipulate the positioning and the quality of a light source to create visual effects , potentially changing aspects of the photograph such as ...

6. Reflector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflector

   Reflector, a device that causes reflection (for example, a mirror or a retroreflector) Reflector (photography), used to control lighting contrast; Reflecting telescope; Reflector (antenna), the part of an antenna that reflects radio waves; Reflector (cipher machine), a component of some rotor machines in cryptography

7. Available light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Available_light

   This will limit the selection of shutter speeds, and may require the use of shades or reflectors to manipulate the light. It can also influence the time, location, and even orientation of the photo shoot to obtain the desired lighting conditions. Available light can often also produce a color cast with color photography.

8. Curved mirror - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curved_mirror

   For parallel rays, such as those coming from a very distant object, a parabolic reflector can do a better job. Such a mirror can focus incoming parallel rays to a much smaller spot than a spherical mirror can. A toroidal reflector is a form of parabolic reflector which has a different focal distance depending on the angle of the mirror.

9. Fill light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill_light

   An alternative to using a direct light source as a fill is to re-direct or "bounce" the key light towards the subject by using a reflector. When used with artificial key light it can be difficult to place a reflector where it can both catch and reflect the light and have it bounce back onto the subject at the ideal "neutral" near-axis angle ...
