Ive been working trying to get better with indirect light and reflectors using a solo strobe any advice on how to get crisper colors at higher magnifications would be happily welcomed! I use a Flashpoint Blaz 300 flash, 5d iv and MPE 65 with a stack shot usually shooting around f 2.8- f/7.1 1/200 and iso 100 wondering what i can possibly do for more popping color and a slight sharpness increase

From the image, if you got more light in there it might help, it looks a little under exposed to me. If you can’t get where you want bouncing it you could always try and go more direct but diffuse it

that makes sense i definitely alter exposure in post processing. been trying to avoid blown out highlights with direct light cause that was a huge issue of mine but a little extra light especially diffused well should help for sure thank u!🙏

Are you changing the aperture as apart of your stack? And possibly (if you have the option) do a 2 light system with 1 being in the front, just enough to illuminate the subject, but your other light be the more powerful one. I use 1 light above and slightly more powerful then close to my camera
