We know that there are literally tens of thousands of photographers who are passionate about photographing close-ups of flowers and other plants. Using one (or even better, two) Flexfill reflectors will give you total control over contrast and amazing tonal quality in your images. Here's how:
When you're working in strong sunlight, use a 20" translucent (Model 20-4) or silk (Model 20-9) Flexfill over the subject to soften the light; at the same time, use the white or silver side of our reversible Model 20-2 at camera level (or slightly below) to put light and contrast just where you want it in your subject. You'll find that the white side is better when the sunlight is harsh.
