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
1.
Assemble the two tubes by fitting
the pieces together. Make sure the
locking buttons fit through the holes
so the pieces are locked together.
2.
Thread the tubes through the
sleeves on the top and bottom of the
reflector.
3.
Thread one rod through the sleeve
at the end of the CatchLight, and
secure it to the tubes with the knobs.
4.
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.
5.
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

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.
1.
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.
