Umbrella in Photography?
When a beginner photographer starts their photography career, the first thing they buy along with a camera that is none other than the UMBRELLA. The first photography accessories to buy ever. First accessories help you to spread, soften & diffuse the light on to your subject.
The photography umbrellas are cheap and portable to buy. These are one of the inexpensive diffusers which spread the light, Allowing for off-camera lighting without the hard and harsh shadows. Also, like to mention that umbrella is the only accessories which are misused often. But using it incorrect way can give you great desired results.
When planning to buy an umbrella, then a beginner photographer must be cleared about the buying of type of umbrella-like Shoot through umbrella or Reflective umbrella. But I suggest you must buy both of it, this really works better in all the outdoor or indoor condition.
Reflective umbrella (Silver) - It gives maximum output like crisp, harness (maximum light as possible) and edgy by reflecting. Perfect umbrella to creates dramatises portraits. Try it.
Reflective Umbrella (White) - It gives you maximum soft look onto your subject, photographer maintain the light output and creates a less dramatise portrait and more neutral subject.
Shoot through Umbrella - It gives you a broad and extremely soft light source. This helps you to shoot a number of people, groups etc but sometimes gives you little harsh light but can be maintained by correcting camera setting.
Convertible Umbrella - There is one convertible umbrella is also available in the market like a shoot through and reflecting a combination of both, both works really well to upgrade your photography level (see the above topmost photograph) Black portion covers block the light and bounce back like a reflective umbrella. The cover can be removed easily to convert the umbrella into a standard shoot- through.
Umbrellas are one of the creative accessories to produce more dramatise beautiful portraits. When everything fails then Umbrellas plays a major role in photography.
Keep experimenting, Have wonderful and happy photography to you all
