Reflector Walimex 17689 Round Gold Silver 56 cm

The Walimex 17689 Round Gold Silver 56 cm reflector is a foldable, portable lighting accessory with gold and silver surfaces and a 56 cm diameter. Its round shape and changeable covers let photographers adapt light quality quickly for portrait and product photography. The reflector folds down to a small transport size and includes a fabric carrying bag for protection and easy handling.

Advantages

The reflector offers two surface coatings to modify light tone: a golden side for warm, romantic highlights and a silver side for harder, cooler highlights. Its round form provides even, directional reflection suitable for both highlight and effect lighting. Built with a canvassed, extra-strong spring ring, the reflector maintains a smooth, wrinkle-free surface and durable construction while remaining lightweight and foldable for transport.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography — adding warm or cool fill and highlights
• Product photography — controlling reflections and emphasizing details
• On-location shoots where portable lighting modifiers are needed
• Creating effect or accent lighting in studio setups

How to use

Select the gold or silver cover depending on the desired light quality, hold or position the reflector to bounce light onto the subject, and adjust distance and angle to control intensity and direction of the reflected light. For portrait work use the gold side to create warm rim or fill light and the silver side for stronger, crisper highlights. When not in use, fold the reflector following the manufacturer’s folding method and store it in the included fabric bag.

Recommendations

Use the gold side for soft, warm accents and the silver side when you need high-contrast, cool reflections; keep the reflector clean and store it in the bag to preserve the reflective surfaces and frame integrity.
