Bigger is better, carrying bag welcome.
Great for full length portraits and large groups. Good solution for when ceiling and/or walls are far way or are colored to provide soft bounce light - put this up in a corner angled down for an excellent room light. Instead of a thin belt around to keep closed it includes a well made bag to with a velcro flap. This should help protect from other gear (IE stands) damaging while in transit. Black outer cover can be removed but I don't foresee the need. Generally when you want soft light b...

You Gotta Get One!
While I don't have my own studio, I find often need one for my glamor/fashion shoots. Some studios offer lighting, others do not or you pay extra. I'm a K.I.S.S kinda photog: the simpler the better. This umbrella fits my formula perfectly! As a single light source it is just what I needed: total head to toe coverage, soft, even, wraparound lighting that really does the trick. Used in conjunction with my Flashpoint Rover 600ws portable flash, I can get all the light I need to get great image...

Let the Glow White Umbrella 40" elevate your photography with its superior design and versatile functionality. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this umbrella is engineered to deliver an even, diffused lighting effect that softens shadows and enhances the quality of your images. The durable fabric and robust fiberglass frame ribs ensure longevity and consistent performance, making it a staple for both amateur and professional photographers.
This umbrella can be utilized in two creative ways: as a traditional soft bounce to gently reflect light onto the subject, creating a natural and flattering illumination, or as a clarity-enhancing shoot-through diffuser that provides a more direct and powerful light output. The white interior of the umbrella contributes to its practicality, ensuring a pure and neutral diffusion of light without any color cast.
The Glow White Umbrella is part of the Glow Umbrella series, renowned for their 'fastpath' to light diffusion. These umbrellas are celebrated for their affordability, ease of use, and portability, making them an excellent choice for on-the-go photographers. Each size and material in the series is tailored to specific lighting needs, with the 40" White Umbrella being particularly versatile for a wide range of photographic situations.
The parabolic shape of the Glow White Umbrella, akin to a large-sized parabolic reflector, is a result of precise engineering. This conic section design is highly efficient at feathering light, creating a focal point that allows for parallel light rays and enhanced control over the lighting effect on the subject. This design principle sets the Glow White Umbrella apart, offering more light reach and superior control compared to standard umbrellas.
When compared to other light modifiers like softboxes, which are designed to simulate natural light sources such as windows and skylights, umbrellas offer a more compact and quicker setup. Additionally, the shape and size of the Glow White Umbrella influence the catch lights in a portrait subject's eyes, as well as the softness of the light. The closer and larger the light source, the softer the transition from highlight to shadow, providing a more flattering result.
In summary, the Glow White Umbrella 40" is a stylish, practical, and versatile lighting tool that is both durable and affordable. It stands as a high-quality choice for photographers seeking to achieve professional lighting effects with ease and efficiency. Whether in-studio or on location, this umbrella is an indispensable asset for creating beautifully lit photographs.
