Umbrellas 101 – Photography Video Tutorial

August 31, 2013 By Morgan Leave a Comment

Today on the Slanted Lens we will discuss umbrellas 101 on set. in our photography video tutorial, we will show umbrellas as a great modifier and the one that most people start with. They’re inexpensive compared to soft boxes and octodomes making them very attractive. They collapse and fold away making them very simple to transport and carry with you. They are the first step in controlling light to achieve your photographic vision. We will discuss the materials the umbrellas are made of and how these materials affect the light. To test our umbrellas we will set up a target that will allow us to see how the light spreads. Then we will use the umbrellas to shape light on a person’s face. Keep those cameras rolling and keep on clickn’.
