Umbrellas soften, broaden, and diminish the light output of any tungsten or flash light source. Umbrellas with a white interior will soften and weaken light more than an umbrella with a silver lining. A white umbrella without a black backing may also be used as a makeshift softbox, although the use of the light will not be as efficient as with a lightbox.

Choosing umbrella size is determined by the size of the subject, and the strength of the light supply being used. Choosing an umbrella surface is as subjective as choosing a paint and brush.

Fabrics are color balanced to all Photoflex soft boxes, panels and discs.

Adjust the shape of the highlight and the light coverage from round, to square to rectangular.

This size is perfect for a 1 person head shot, or 3x4 ft product setup.
