The Panelite that Chris uses is available here. The great thing about a Panelite is it reflects a full length patch of light. This is vital for fashion, wedding and Cherish photography where the clothes are as important as the people.

There are many reflective surfaces that Lastolite make and here is a quick guide:

‘Gold’ is what it is – easy and cheesy

‘Sunfire’ is gold and silver stripes in a tight alternating pattern and is half way between gold and silver.

‘Sunlite’ is a slightly cooler version of Sunfire and is new out this year. It is still a lot warmer than silver but giving a pleasing natural look without any need to alter the tone in post production. ‘Sunlite’ is my favourite reflector tone and hence it is the one I am championing on my website here.

‘Silver’ is what it is and produces cool tone mirror like reflections.

‘White’ is what it is and produces the most diffused reflections that illuminate a much wider area but to a lower intensity as you would expect.

‘Softsilver’ like ’sunlite’ is also a new fabric and has alternating diffused silver with shiny silver stripes and this widens the apparent patch of illumination giving the edge of the reflection a softness blending it to the un-lit part of the frame. This is my next favourite surface and hence is on the reverse of the Panelite reflectors I sell on my website.

These are simply quite stunning shots, love the post production. I also love the BW shots exposed for the highlights. interesting use of reflectors something I have never used but have been quite tempted with. could I ask what size of reflector was used.

Thank you very much for sharing your work its so inspiring…..
