White Reflector: White reflectors create softer reflections than silver ones do which makes them ideal for portrait sessions outdoors where you want a softer look that isn’t as harsh or intense as silver might be while keeping skin tones looking balanced and consistent (white reflects all colors evenly). Silver reflects an even more concentrated light than white does making items in your frame darker than they appear normally under natural lighting. They’re best for high-contrast situations where you want to emphasize the highlights in your image by bouncing highlights from a single strong source back into the shadows of your subject’s face for dramatic results.

Silver Reflector: Silver reflectors create a bright specular reflection which adds harder shadows to portrait photos. The three most common types of reflectors used in photography include silver, white and gold: There are several types of reflectors that are designed to do specific things depending on color and their surfaces’ properties. Not all reflectors are created equal, of course. When used with natural light, reflectors can provide control over contrast, color and hue. They can either produce artificial light for adding backlight, fill-light, shadow details or flagging techniques.

Reflectors are most commonly used in photography to add or balance light in a scene.
