Westcott Optical White Satin Diffusion Umbrella (32")
Key Features
  • Bounce or Shoot Through
  • Increases Ambient Light
  • Ideal for Fill Light
  • 1-Stop Diffusion
The 32" Optical White Satin Diffusion Umbrella from Westcott is a light modifier that exhibits wide coverage, low contrast, and a substantial boost in the ambient light level. Sturdily built with fiberglass rods and a metal shaft, this umbrella is well-suited to portraiture, providing fill light and high key effects. It also has the ability to become a shoot-through modifier. Instead of traditionally bouncing your light source inside the umbrella, turn it around and aim the convex side of the umbrella toward your subject. While still diffused, you'll get wide coverage and a snappy look with more contrast.

Works beautifully providing a soft, flattering light. It opens and closes smoothly and stores well.

Great value, solid build.

Can this be used as a reflective umbrella? When using as a shoot-through, how much light is reflected back into the room?
Asked by: Charles
This is a translucent umbrella, which will reduce the light by about 1 stop when the outer portion faces the subject.
