    • Soft Reflection/Bounce (White Side): The primary function is to bounce light sources, providing a soft, natural, and diffused fill light to fill in shadows.
    • Negative Fill (Black Side): The black side is used to absorb light, reducing ambient reflections to create deeper contrast and shadows, which is often crucial for dramatic, moody, or "short lighting".
    • Light Control/Flagging: Used to block unwanted light from hitting the subject or specific parts of the scene.
    • Blocking Windows: Used to cover windows to prevent unwanted daylight from entering a scene.
    • Portable Backgrounds: Often used for quick, simple, and clean backgrounds, especially in product photography.
