Thank you for choosing Angler.

The Angler CatchLight is a unique, curved reﬂector that minimizes or

eliminates harsh shadows for a stunning, glowing eect that’s favored by

portrait, fashion, and beauty photographers. Placed beneath the chin level of

a subject, the reﬂected beam from a key light creates a seamless catchlight

that’s the same shape and contour of the subject’s iris. It also delivers a

clamshell lighting eect that accentuates beautiful skin tones and textures.

Assembling the CatchLight

Assemble the two tubes by fitting

the pieces together. Make sure the

locking buttons ﬁt through the holes

so the pieces are locked together.

Thread the tubes through the

sleeves on the top and bottom of the

reﬂector.

Thread one rod through the sleeve

at the end of the CatchLight, and

secure it to the tubes with the knobs.

At the zippered end, fold the fabric

and zip up the zipper about ¼ of the

way. Then thread the rod through the

zipped portion of the CatchLight and

secure it with the knobs.

Pull the reflector tight and zip it

closed.

Attach the bracket to the back of

the CatchLight assembly by ﬁtting

the bracket’s bolts through the

holes at the center of each tube,

and securing them with the knobs.

At this point, the CatchLight is

assembled, the reflector will be

taut.

7. Loosen the bracket’s locking knob,

and place it on the light stand’s 5/8-

inch stud. Tighten the locking knob

until secure.

Adjust the swivel bracket to the

desired angle.

An optional reversible white/soft gold

fabric is available separately. Attach it to

the CatchLight with the touch-connect

strips around the edges of the fabric and

CatchLight.

Clamshell Lighting Eect with the CatchLight

Clamshell lighting minimizes or eliminates harsh shadows and is often used

by professional fashion and beauty photographers for a glowing eect that

delivers glamorous portraits.

Position your light approximately 2.5 to 3 feet from the subject, pointing

down at a 45°.

2. Place the center of the CatchLight the same distance from the subject,

and aim it so the subject has a curved catchlight that follows the curve

of their iris.
