Translucent White Soft umbrella is designed to shoot through. While most umbrellas point the light away from the subject to allow light to reflect back to the subject, the translucent umbrella works the opposite way.
By positioning the back of the umbrella directly at the subject, the light source shines in the same direction, offering a layer of translucent material between the light and the subject. This direct approach expands on the directional, higher contrast feel of the Silver Umbrella and is ideal whenever you want to dramatize surface textures, or provide a more directional light. Of course, since the light is diffused, it is still soft and can be made softer by choosing a larger size translucent umbrella and sliding the shaft of the umbrella so the flash is further away from the fabric.
The material is neutral and allows about 50% transmission. This umbrella is lightweight, easy to use and assemble. It provides a wide, even and soft illumination, which is great for both portraits and group shots or for product shooting of larger objects.
The delivery was excellent; the unit/s are very good quality for the money. If you want value for you money you can't go far wrong with this product.
As stated above this shoot through umbrella is excellent value for money and provided a nice spread of light when used in a bowens mount. A very worth while buy.
