Creative Light 25" Translucent Umbrella
Probably the most basic light modifier in the photography world--the umbrella. Light reflecting off the umbrella's interior spreads out to cover a wide area. Umbrellas are easy to use, easy to store and easy to transport, and provide you with almost unlimited lighting possibilities. The Creative Light 25" Translucent Umbrella's translucent material means you can shine the light through the umbrella, rather than reflecting off of it, giving you a soft but directional light.
- Approved for use with continuous hot lights up to 500 watts

Comments about Creative Light 25" Translucent Umbrella:
I use this little umbrella for portraits, along with a flash. It softens the light just right. Seems to be made well--I've not used it a lot. Comes with a nice simple case and is well made.

Comments about Creative Light 25" Translucent Umbrella:
This umbrella surprised me. The quality is quite good, and it comes with a nice, nylon, draw-string bag--which is much better than the see-through plastic bags most come with. It looks more professional when walking into an assignment with your gear. It's very small, but perfect for a shoot-through umbrella to light one subject (maybe two), as a head and shoulder's portrait with your portable speedlight (IE: Nikon or Canon Flash). I'm going to order a second one.

Comments about Creative Light 25" Translucent Umbrella:
I love these umbrellas. They are the perfect size and seem to be very well made. I needed something to soften the light that would be easy to use and portable and these fit the bill. I use them to light up by white back drop and they also create a bit of rim light. My assistant can easily hold it with a speedlight during weddings for quick creative light! I love them.

I've used these in the past, and love the quick set-up for soft lighting. No fumbling with ring adapters. The only drawback is not much control. But it does the job.

Comments about Creative Light 25" Translucent Umbrella:
I mainly use for wedding and location photography, inside and outside. It softens my off-camera speedlight very well. I especially like being able to walk through doorways without having to collapsing the umbrella.
