Hi! Today I will be teaching ya'll how to make a DIY reflector to use for your doll photoshoots. If you don't know what a reflector is, it is a thin, usually a circle-like shape, photography essential that people use to bounce natural light from the reflector to the object they're photographing. The other day, I made a reflector myself, to use! Instead of spending money on a reflector, you can make it yourself using cardboard, aluminum foil, and glue! Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of the process but I will attempt to make the directions clear as a crystal! So to start off, you'll need to cut a circle out of your cardboard. You can choose how large or small you want it. Also, I recommend using a somewhat-thick cardboard. After that, get your aluminum foil and spread it across the circle. Glue on the desired size, and continue to glue the foil on until the whole circle is covered. If you'd like, you can wrap the foil around the whole entire circle for a double-sided reflector. That's all, but you can also add duct tape around the rim of the reflector to keep the foil in place. I hope this helps, and I'd love to see pictures of your guys' reflectors if you used this tutorial! Email your photos to agmdollies@gmail.com and I will feature the pics on my blog:) See you all next time!
