Reflector

By Liz Masoner, About.com

Definition: Reflectors in photography are simply any item used to reflect light towards your subject. Reflectors are either placed on a stand or other support, or held by an assistant to direct light onto a subject. Reflectors are generally held at an equal angle from the light source and the subject.
