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.

works great, easy to set up, hasn't pinched my fingers once, didn't notice it transformed into a shoot through until i already bought it but that was a welcome surprise

good, cheap umbrella

I've never seen another umbrella with logo printed on them. It won't affect color much but knowing it is there and some light is passing through it makes me wanna buy something else instead.

it is a translucent umbrella. don't print a color logo on it.

For $15 you'd have to be crazy not to have this in your lighting kit. Super simple, setup doesn't get any easier than this.  Shoot through the white umbrella for a nice soft light. If you need more punch put the black cover over the umbrella and shoot into the slightly diffused silver and adjust distance accordingly.  Inexpensive, lightweight, compact, functional.

No better ROI as far as light modifiers go.

I do a lot of in home sessions and all my gear has to be able to save space. I'm excited to be able to use this umbrella- When I get to photograph newborn, I like to be able to have the white umbrella to soften the light on the baby, I have others but just don't feel that it is an even cast. This should really do the trick!

60 inch umbrella, Can't wait to use for next studio session

Great umbrella for the price. The light diffuses well. It collapses and goes up easily. The only small problem I have is that the pole dents if mounted a bit tighter than just snugly.

Great umbrella

For an Umbrella it does exactly what it is designed to do. Hold out the Rai- I mean, reflect light.

Setup with my lighting system works as intended, and I have no complaints.

Does great - Exactly what I'd expect

Would be 5 stars if the case actually had the handles pictured in the product description. Otherwise, good stuff.

Good but no strap as pictured

This umbrella is inexpensive enough that buying a plain white umbrella doesn't make sense.

Smart investment

Simple and Easy

It really can't get much better.  It's an umbrella--it's solidly built, produces a great quality of light, and it's only $15 for 40", which is a substantial size!  On top of all this, it's multi-dimensional in the fact that you can either use it as a bounce or shoot-through style!  The removable black/silver backing comes off easily.  If I had to pick on anything I think they could choose a better attachment method for the backing, like a velcro fastening system instead of unlatching the metal attachments on the tips of the umbrella, but it's rather easy and quick.  It would be quicker to rip it off if it was fastened by velcro, but that's being very picky.  Listen, it's only $15, and it's solid materials with a nice case!  Get two--I did!!!

Fantastic umbrella and great quality, inexpensive light source for small groups!

Good quality umbrella, will definitely buy 1 more

40 inch Glow White Umbrella

Great value for price

Recently purchased 2 of these umbrellas to added to my OCF sent up as I am wanting to add OCF in my sessions. 

Have had a few trial runs with them and they are super cool. Easy to handle, soft light and spread. Totally happy with my purchase.

Fantastic product and addiction to my OCF set up.

Studio light

Shoot through or reflector is a nice option. Taking care when removing and installing the black/silver cover should ensure a relatively long life. I am happy with this purchase.

Shoot through or reflector is a nice option

Excellent value. Great umbrella. It?s the perfect size to use with my Flashpoint eVOLV 200. The bare bulb head fills the umbrella completely. The round head almost fille it completely.
