I must admit that I was intrigued by your question, and even though I
shoot
almost entirely digital IR, I've never experimented with reflectors, since
most of my stuff is shot during the daylight hours. So last night I made
two reflectors, one with smooth aluminum foil, and one with crumpled foil.
The smooth foil reflector worked great. The crumpled foil appeared to
diffuse the light slightly, but did not reflect as much of the light onto
my
subject. So yes, aluminum foil works great. Hope this helps.
