Umbrellas

Umbrellas are usually the first lighting modifier for a beginning studio photographer due to their affordability and ease of use. Umbrellas are available in two main types, reflective and through-beam.

In addition, reflective ones come in different colors such as silver and gold, and sizes are traditionally around 80cm all the way up to large giant umbrellas with a diameter of 150cm.

A reflective umbrella reflects light back onto the subject. The result is a very broad light that is much softer than a direct flash. These umbrellas usually have a dark background to prevent the light from the flash from passing through the umbrella.

A see-through umbrella is an umbrella made of translucent white fabric that is placed between the light source and the subject. This type of umbrella acts as a diffuser, broadening and softening the light.

What is the difference between an umbrella and a softbox?

  • Umbrellas are cheaper and quicker to set up than softboxes.
  • An umbrella "shoots" light everywhere, so it is very difficult to control the spread of light.
  • The umbrella produces a circular reflective highlight (catch light) in the eye of the subject being photographed
  • A softbox allows for much better light direction than an umbrella.
  • Softboxes allow for a rectangular catchlight in the subject's eye, while umbrellas create a circular catchlight. Many photographers prefer a rectangular catchlight because it more closely resembles natural light coming from a window.
