The UBGR Ultra Series Background Reflector

Background Reflector for White Lightning Ultra Series Flash Units

The UBGR Ultra Background Reflector is an excellent tool to help photographers achieve good subject-to-background separation. This reflector is designed to work on a single flash unit, positioned directly behind your subject. By design, the Ultra Background Reflector can be used in tight setups, where side lighting or grids don’t have enough room. The light pattern of your unit with the UBGR fans out behind your subject. The spread will gradually fall off as it covers the background, accenting the background, and gently providing a halo effect behind your subject. For those photographers who use painted and textured backgrounds, this is a great way to highlight the background, without overpowering your subject.

The UBGR fits comfortably in place of your standard reflector on any Ultra Series unit. The UBGR comes with two parts: the background reflector, and the light blocker. The reflector is a white shovel reflector, catching the light from your flash unit, and evenly bouncing it onto your background. To position your flash unit vertically, it may be placed on a small stand, like our LS1100 backlight stand, then hidden directly behind your subject. By adjusting the positioning arm on your unit, you can point the flash unit directly up, and towards your background. This will allow the background reflector to catch the light, and throw it evenly on your backdrop.

With the Ultra Series, we include the light blocker, which cuts down on any stray light that may be emitted from the air vents. This reduces the flare that may hit your background, subject, or camera lens. The light blocker piece can be used with other reflectors as well, fitting directly over the vents on your unit.
