Get Better Photos

Among its many different qualities, aluminum foil is also great for reflecting light. This means that you can reliably use it to better light your photos. Think of it like a professional reflector, only cheaper. A large piece of foil can be used to effectively reflect and disperse light for better conditions when photographing your subject. While you might only need a single sheet for small subjects, larger ones might require that you tape multiple sheets together.

However, this is certainly a cheap and quick solution if you ever find yourself in need of better lighting. Aluminum foil is common enough to be found near just about any shoot.
