Photo Studio Reflector Mantona 18082 Round Black Gold Silver White Diameter 11 cm

The Mantona 18082 Round Reflector is an 11 cm multi-surface tool designed to modify and control light in studio and location photography. It provides four interchangeable surfaces—black, gold, silver and white—allowing photographers to block, warm, intensify or soften light as required. Its compact round shape makes it suited for close-up work, portrait retouching, product shots and situations where precise directional control of reflected light is needed.

Advantages

This compact reflector offers flexible light control in a small, portable format. The silver surface increases specular highlights and contrast, the gold surface adds warm tones, the white surface provides soft, neutral fill, and the black surface absorbs stray light to deepen shadows. The 11 cm diameter is convenient for targeted reflections and easy transport, enabling quick adjustments on set without bulky equipment.

Suitable for

• Portrait close-ups and eye catchlights
• Product photography for small items (jewellery, watches, cosmetics)
• Macro and still-life lighting control
• On-location shoots where compact gear is required

Key specifications

• Diameter: 11 cm
• Reflective surfaces: black, gold, silver, white
• Shape: round
• Use type: handheld or supported reflector for targeted lighting

How to use

Position the reflector so the chosen surface faces the subject or light source depending on the desired effect. Use the silver side to increase contrast and highlight details, the gold side to warm skin tones, the white side to soften shadows and provide neutral fill, and the black side to reduce unwanted light and deepen shadows. Hold the reflector by hand or mount it on a small stand or clamp to maintain steady placement; adjust distance and angle to control intensity and spread of reflected light.

Usage recommendations

For portraits, place the reflector close to the subject to create pronounced catchlights and controlled fill. For product and macro work, use small, precise angles to avoid unwanted reflections; consider combining the white and silver surfaces for balanced softness with defined highlights. Store the reflector in a protective pouch to prevent scratches and preserve surface finishes.
