130cm Black/White Photo Studio Parabolic Reflective Umbrella

A deep parabolic umbrella that turns a bare flash into a broad, controlled light source. Point the light away from your subject and let the white interior throw it back: the result is soft light with enough sparkle to keep skin and eyes lively, and the 16-rib shape leaves rounder, more natural catchlights than a square modifier. Because the canopy is deep rather than shallow, less light spills where you don't want it — a real help when you're lighting a subject a few feet in front of a hand-painted canvas and want the backdrop a stop or so darker than the face. Slide the umbrella along its 8mm shaft to focus or spread the beam. The black outer skin stops light leaking through and bouncing around the room, and the fibreglass frame shrugs off the knocks that bend cheap metal ribs. Works with speedlights, studio flash and continuous LED, then folds down for the kit bag.
