About Photek SoftLighter

Before you settle for any ordinary lighting accessory, consider the Photek SoftLighter 36" White Umbrella. This versatile photography tool effortlessly transforms from a large umbrella into a softbox, offering you the flexibility and control you need in your shoots.

Constructed with a robust fiberglass frame, this umbrella is designed to withstand the rigors of professional photography. The white reflective fabric is meticulously crafted to be free from contaminants, ensuring that your light output remains pure and free from unwanted color casts.

The SoftLighter Umbrella stands out with its unique light modifier that includes a snug-fitting diffuser. This diffuser fits over the open side of the umbrella and is compatible with flash heads 7.25" or less in diameter, effectively turning your umbrella into an instant softbox.

The innovative design allows the light to bounce off the umbrella and pass through the diffuser, resulting in a soft, flattering quality of light. The removable shaft feature allows you to adjust the umbrella's proximity to your subject, giving you the ability to control the softness of the light.

Unlike standard 8-panel umbrellas, the SoftLighter boasts a 10-panel construction. This design provides tighter fabric support, leading to more controllable output and refined circular catchlights, adding that extra sparkle in the eyes of your subjects.

The umbrella comes with a black backing that can be removed, allowing you to shoot through the translucent white fabric for a snappier contrast. The SoftLighter Umbrella ships with a removable 8mm shaft, and an optional 7mm shaft is available for lights that require it.

In essence, the Photek SoftLighter 36" White Umbrella with Fiberglass Frame, 7mm and 8mm Removable Shaft, and Black Back is more than just a lighting accessory. It's a versatile tool that enhances your photography, providing you with the flexibility and quality you need to capture stunning images.
