How to use a Curved Reflector? | Ask David Bergman

Today's question from Luis G. is, "Hi David. What's the best way to set up a curved reflector like the Wescott Eyelighter? Why is it better than a standard pop-up reflector? And should you use one large softbox, or a separate light source like a strip box directly above to focus the light being reflected? Thank you."
