How To Fold A Light Reflector (Photography Lighting Tool)

When I first got this reflector, it took me a while to figure out how to fold it back up into the circle pouch that it came with. I even Google'd for for a "how to" and found very little help.

Hopefully this will help you fold your reflector, as it's a lot easier when you can see it, rather than just read a description.

It's hard enough to figure out when you're working with a tiny circle one, but with a huge reflector like this (I'm 6'4") and rectangular shape makes it much harder.

In case there's any confusion, my hands are at opposite corners, and I twist my hands in opposite directions to fold it up into 3 circular layers.

This was a revelation. We had spent 3 years trying to fold our daughters castle tent, wich has the shape of your reflector with no succes. We saw your video and my husband managed to get the thing in its pink bag. We are uncertain about our possibilities to succeed again. Saludos
