Umbrellas are the backbone of many photographers’ toolboxes, understandably so, because they are easy to work with and ideal to bring to location. The deeper the umbrella shape, the better control you have of the light spread. It also allows you to focus and shape light by simply sliding the umbrella shaft backward or forward in its holder. The Umbrella Deep Silver creates a crisp, direct light with more contrast and a high light output, a little like the light you’d get from a hard reflector. pull the Diffusor over your umbrella to create a deep softbox.
