Make your photography sessions more professional and versatile with the 60" White Parabolic Umbrella with Removable Silver/Black Layer. This high-quality, durable umbrella is designed to provide even, diffused lighting with soft shadow definition, enhancing the overall quality of your photos. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, from the fabric to the frame ribs, this umbrella sets a new benchmark for portable light control. Its unique design features a black opaque top cover over a super reflective silver layer, minimizing light loss that typically occurs through white fabric material. This stylish and functional umbrella offers three creative lighting options: traditional soft bounce, a softer and more efficient bounce with the silver/black outer layer, and as a clarity-enhancing shoot-through diffuser. The umbrella's parabolic shape, a technical 'conic section', is highly efficient at feathering light. When light is aimed at the focal point, it bounces off the entire umbrella surface at different angles, but upon leaving the umbrella, all the rays are parallel. This design ensures more light reaches the subject, providing you with greater control over your photography lighting. The 60" White Parabolic Umbrella with Removable Silver/Black Layer is not only a breeze to work with but also easy to transport, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor photography. Its large size provides a wide coverage area, suitable for both small and large subjects. Whether you're capturing detailed portraits or expansive landscapes, this umbrella is designed to bring out the best in your subjects. It's especially suitable for higher light output, greater reach, and highlighting intricate details. Remember, 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 can greatly influence the final result. The larger and closer the light is to the subject, the softer the results will be as to the transition of the highlight into the shadow. Elevate your photography with the 60" White Parabolic Umbrella with Removable Silver/Black Layer, a simple choice for superior light control and diffusion.

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.
