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...

Enhance your photography with the Glow 40" White Umbrella, a premium lighting accessory designed to deliver even, diffused lighting with soft shadow definition. Crafted meticulously from optical white viscoelastic polymer fabric material, this umbrella is a testament to superior light control, offering fantastic value for both professional photographers and hobbyists alike.
The umbrella's design features a black opaque cover layer, strategically incorporated to limit light loss, ensuring maximum light efficiency. This feature, combined with the umbrella's optical white viscoelastic polymer fabric, guarantees optimal light diffusion for your subjects, enhancing the overall quality of your images.
Glow Umbrellas are renowned for their 'fast path' to light diffusion, offering an affordable, user-friendly, and portable solution for your lighting needs. Each umbrella is designed with a unique specialty. For instance, the Silver Umbrella delivers stronger focused lighting and soft shadow definition, perfect for highlighting details and creating specular highlights.
The Translucent Umbrella, on the other hand, provides diffused lighting around a bright central burst, allowing you to vary the lighting effect by adjusting the distance from the flashhead to the umbrella.
The Glow 40" White Umbrella's design is inspired by the efficiency of parabolic reflectors, which are known for their ability to feather light effectively. This design ensures that more light reaches your subject, resulting in better-lit photographs.
Compared to Glow softboxes, which simulate window light, sky light, and north light, umbrellas offer a similar soft light but with a wider spread and less edge control. Their compact design and quick setup make them a favorite among wedding and studio photographers.
The choice of light modifiers also influences the shape of catch lights in a portrait subject's eyes and the size of the modifier in relation to the size of the subject. With the Glow 40" White Umbrella, you can achieve softer results by bringing the light source closer to the subject, or create a more dramatic effect by increasing the distance.
In summary, the Glow 40" White Umbrella is a versatile, high-quality lighting accessory that can significantly enhance your photography experience.
