5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BE USING V-FLATS

Chances are, If you’re a photographer you know what a v-flat is and the value of using them to controlling your light.

Filmmakers, on the other hand, aren’t as familiar with these handy and versatile tools. Which is why I’m breaking down my top 5 reasons ways I use v-flats as a filmmaker...

1. You can make a giant, full body softbox in seconds! Skip the c-stands and 4x4's. This is the quickest & easiest way to get a large, soft light source.

2. Fill & Negative Fill. This is the most obvious reason to use these. Most filmmakers know the importance of having bounce boards and flags to help them shape light. This is both in one!

3. Using V-Flats for hanging backdrops is one of my favorite ways to use a V-Flat. I can quickly switch out my background without having to deal with multiple stands, freeing them up to be used in other ways.

4. The black and white sides of a V-Flate are fantastic for product shoots or to use as backgrounds for interviews too.

5. They are fold-able for smaller table-top shoots. Being able to fold up to a 4x4 footprint allows these to fit in cars for travel and storage when not in use.

I'm a huge fan of these things and use them whenever I can in my work. I highly suggest checking them out and using V-Flats whether you're a filmmaker, a photographer or even a vlogger. They have so many applications!
