What is a "reflector"?

A reflector is a tool used in photography to bounce light onto a subject. It typically consists of a surface that can be silver, gold, white, or another color, and it helps to redirect light to fill in shadows or enhance the overall illumination. Reflectors are often used to soften harsh lighting, reduce shadows, and improve the balance of light in a scene. They are useful for achieving more flattering and even lighting in portraits and other types of photography.
