The translucent umbrella produces very soft diffused light when the flash is fired through it. This size is ideally suited for a 1-2 person headshot, or a 3x5 foot product setup. Umbrella size should be determined by the size of the subject, as well as the strength of the light supply being used. 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. This 33" translucent umbrella may also be used as a makeshift softbox, although the use of the light will not be as efficient as with a lightbox. The material is neutral and allows about 50% transmission.
