Reflector Lastolite LL LR3531 — 45.7 cm diameter, Silver/White, foldable studio reflector

Lastolite LL LR3531 is a foldable studio reflector with a 45.7 cm (18") diameter featuring silver and white reversible surfaces for flexible light control. The compact round design and TriGrip molded handle with securing strap let a single operator position the reflector precisely and comfortably, making it suitable for portrait, product and location photography where quick shaping of light is needed. The reflector collapses to a fraction of its open size for easy transport and storage.

Advantages

The silver surface increases contrast and specular highlights to emphasize texture and form, while the white surface provides soft, diffuse fill to reduce harsh shadows. The TriGrip handle with securing strap enables accurate one-handed positioning and reduces strain when held for extended periods. Being double-sided and stand-free, the reflector adapts to fast-paced workflows and on-location shoots and folds down for compact carry.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography to fill shadows under the chin and around the eyes
• Product photography to add specular highlights or even soft fill
• On-location shoots where quick, stand-free lighting control is required
• Small studio setups and DIY lighting rigs

Key specifications

• Diameter: 45.7 cm (18")
• Surfaces: reversible Silver / White
• Shape: round, collapsible
• Handle: TriGrip molded handle with securing strap for one-handed use
• Portability: folds to a compact size for transport and storage

How to use

Hold the reflector by the TriGrip handle and position the selected surface (silver or white) toward the subject to achieve the desired effect. Use the silver side to boost contrast and add highlights, and use the white side for soft, neutral fill. Adjust angle and distance to control intensity and spread of reflected light; closer placement increases brightness and specularity, while moving it farther away softens the effect. The securing strap can be used to steady the reflector or to reduce grip pressure during longer shoots.

Usage recommendations

For portraits, start with the white surface for subtle fill and switch to silver to emphasize texture or add catchlights. When working on location, use the TriGrip handle to direct light into tight or awkward areas such as beneath the chin and around the eyes without requiring stands. Store folded in a protective bag to maintain shape and surface condition.
