Need help managing reflections? Here's what you should know

If you have trouble managing reflections for your food photography, understanding the basics of how reflections work is a great place to start. In this video, I take a look at Reflection Light, which is a type of natural light that we would typically see in everyday life. I then take the lessons I learned from observing this type of light and apply it to my food subjects in the studio. Hope you find it helpful!
