@monkeykid thank you for your comment Therese. I don't have any studio lights so either work with natural light or have to use a flashlight or my desk lamp, so far I used the transparent reflector which makes the light from the flashlight less harsh and distributes it better over the subject. The silver reflector makes that the yellowish light from the desk lamp is whiter/cooler and also distributes the light better over the subject. I definitely see a difference.
