(using the V-Flat to block window in this image) #4 – CHIN FILL Use in folded position to add fill light under your model. Also makes a great posing table #5 – BACKGROUND Use the white or black side of the V-Flat as a background, great for headshots and half body shots. White on one side, black on the other, this isn’t just a sheet of half-inch foam core. It’s a multi-purpose tool that reflects, subtracts, and blocks light. It’s also a highly effective tool for flagging light while blowing out white backdrops. When it’s not working as a light modifier, it switches gears to become a set element, acting as a backdrop, a portable privacy room, and a muscle-powered wind machine.
