Stunning Portrait Lighting with a Seamless Curved Catchlight
The Eyelighter 3 allows you to achieve beautiful clamshell lighting with a single light source. But it doesn’t stop there. Its arc-shaped design matches the natural curvature of the human eye, resulting in seamless catchlight without unflattering shapes or gaps. The sparkle is real.
The Original Curved Reflector Redesigned for a 2-Minute Setup
The Eyelighter 3’s framework features a secure quick-lock system with an easy push-and-release button for fast assembly and teardown. Tension rods pull the reflective fabric taut to maximize the light cast.
Get More Looks with 3 Reflective Surfaces
Silver Fabric
The most popular Eyelighter fabric due to the very distinct look it gives. Creates a very specular light. Fills in almost all of the shadows under the chin and nose. Produces a very defined highlight in the eyes.
White Fabric
Produces a soft, subtle fill. Retains some shadows under the chin and nose to help add dimension to your subject's face. The highlight in the eye is less dramatic and more natural-looking.
Sunlight Fabric
Creates a very specular light with slightly warmer tones. A mix of both a gold and silver material gives a warm, glowy look to skin tones and the catchlight.
Meet Larry Peters, Portrait Photographer & Eyelighter Inventor
After opening his first family-operated photography studio in 1974, Ohio-based photographer Larry Peters became a leading professional in the senior portrait industry. Larry sought to perfect the art of portrait lighting by designing the patented Eyelighter.
Larry shared his knowledge in workshops and seminars throughout his career, leading to high exposure and demand for his unique reflector. After years of building the product in his garage, Larry partnered with us in 2014. Together we perfected the Eyelighter and made it readily available for photographers around the world.
Durable & Lightweight Components
At 6.8 lbs.(3.1 kg), the Eyelighter 3’s strong aluminum frame provides durability without the weight. The curved reflector measures 54.5 x 24.8 x 21.2 in. (138.4 x 63 x 53.8 cm) fully assembled. It collapses to 33 in. (85 cm) for storage in the included padded carry case.

Although there are copycat versions and alternative methods to achieve the reduction in shadows under the subject's neck, the Westcott Eyelighter 3, exceeds expectations in construction, setup and in use.Spend the extra to own the industry leading reflector - you won't regret it.

I had a cheaper knock off version of this that took forever to set up and the screws kept getting lost as well as the knobs broken. This setup is a cakewalk. No screws just click in place. 5-10 min tops to set up and break down is even faster A+

I am a professional headshot photographer. I just recently moved back to clamshell lighting. I really like the quality of light this offers with the white fabric. It really helps fill in shadows and light up my customer with one light.

Don’t be like me try to save $100 by going with a cheap one. They are a huge pain in the butt. This thing will travel well, save me tons of time, and make me look more professional, all things that make me money and ultimately let me create better images. They nailed it with this one. I should have purchased this years ago instead of shoving my cheap on into my tiny car fully assembled. It was like putting it into Mary Popppn’s bag - how. I looked so unprofessional carrying that thing in.

I ordered this curved reflector for my headshot sessions in my photography studio and I'm really happy with the end results. When placed correctly, it creates a really beautiful and attention grabbing catchlight on the lower half of the eye. That might seem like a small detail but when it comes to portrait photography, it's so important to make the eyes engaging. This reflector does a lot of the work to draw and hold the viewers attention to the eyes. It's best used in a butterfly lighting setup.It was easy to set up and hasn't lost any durability in the several times I've set it up and taken it down. The various color surfaces for the reflection provides nice options for different styles but I tend to just use the white and the silver. It works well with a shorter stand (stand not provided).The only thing I could say disappoints me about the item is the single stiching. Double stiching would be better but as I mentioned the durability has held up.

I ordered this after seeing it at a conference. It arrived quickly with no damage. It was a little challenging to put together and take down. It does not include a stand - bummer.It works great for adding the light during headshots. It is easy to adjust.
