The magic of Umbrellas

The magic of using Umbrellas in photography

Explore the timeless effectiveness of umbrellas in photography, particularly emphasizing Elinchrom's shallow and deep options. Whether you seek to generate gentle, diffused lighting or capture sharp, high-contrast portraits, umbrellas remain an essential tool for versatile and efficient lighting configurations in photography.

Unveiling the magic of Umbrellas in photography
Article by John Gress - elinchrom.com

When I got my first set of lights in 1998, I started with two small umbrellas. Back then, I used them for environmental portraits on location. One umbrella illuminated the room, and the other lit up the person’s face. This simple approach marked the beginning of my lighting journey. Even after 25 years, umbrellas remain a staple in my work.

I’ll start by sharing with you how umbrellas differ by comparing images from a recent test and then I am going to share three ways you can use umbrellas in your work for years to come.

Umbrellas primarily come in two varieties – shallow and deep. Elinchrom’s shallow Umbrellas are go-to modifiers for soft, diffused light with widespread distribution, ideal for quick setups and group shots. On the other hand, deep umbrellas offer focused, high-contrast lighting, making them perfect for beauty and portraits. Each type has three variants: translucent, white, and silver.

“When light bounces off of colored surfaces it takes on the color of that object, so having more control of your lighting is essential when creating color images”

Deep Translucent Umbrella coupled with Black Diffuser and Deep White Umbrella,

Deep White Umbrella with Translucent Diffuser, Deep Silver Umbrella, Deep Silver Umbrella with Translucent Diffuser

I created the first image with Elinchrom’s Deep Translucent Umbrella coupled with a Black Diffuser on the back. I used this modifier as a shoot through umbrella. The purpose of this cover was to prevent light from bouncing off the interior of the umbrella and then reflecting off of other surfaces in the room. When light bounces off of colored surfaces it takes on the color of that object, so having more control of your lighting is essential when creating color images. The light from this modifier is similar to what you would expect from a softbox: you’ll notice that the transition area between the shadows into mid tones is very subtle and the background is lighter when compared to the other options.

On the second image, as I used the Deep White Umbrella, the light has less specularity, a touch more warmth, and a darker background.

On image three, adding a Translucent Diffuser to the Deep White Umbrella created an indirect softbox effect, warming the light by about 200K, reducing specularity, and smoothing the transitions even more.

For the fourth test, we used the Deep Silver Umbrella, which produced crisper light than the translucent version. With increased contrast, you get more specularity and texture, but the background is darker, producing a more focused feel.

Finally, we tested the Deep Silver Umbrella with the Translucent Diffuser. The light seems to have the same specularity and detail as the white umbrella with the diffuser, but it retains the contrast of the silver umbrella.

Fortress Figure

This setup was born out of a workshop I was teaching in which one of the attendees wanted to recreate a portrait that looked like it was lit with a shaft of light. Inspired by his vision, I set out to perfect that look, and created this image of fellow photographer Jerry Stevens. However, I cannot take credit for his impeccable retouching.

Single light in an Elinchrom Deep Silver Umbrella

I illuminated this image using a single light in an Elinchrom Deep Silver Umbrella. I placed it about 1.8-2.4m to the right, and the bottom of the modifier was leveled with the subject’s jaw. Then I flagged the light coming from the umbrella with a V-Flat and a 50x75cm piece of foam core positioned so that it was overlapping the front edge of the V-Flat and high enough so it was between the subject’s shirt and the main light. The resulting black “L” restricted the light so it could only strike the front of Jerry’s face. He heightened the isolation by leaning into the side of the V-flat.

The other wing of the black V- Flat blocked the light from hitting the background. Without it, the backdrop would have been brighter than his face. I added a second V-Flat, white side out on my right for fill. It was close but not too close in order to bounce back the perfect amount of light into the shadows. Working out the positioning of the V-Flats and the foam core is fairly easy if you’re in a dark zoom and using a modeling light.

Not quite John Snow

One thing I really love about teaching workshops is when attendees bring sample images and we create something inspired by them. For this image, we used an Elinchrom 105cm Deep White Umbrella to create more focused light for this gritty image. After the attendees braided the model’s hair, applied generous amounts of topsoil and painted on ketchup, we created this profile portrait with a little bit of “Game of Thrones” flair.

Positioned above and behind the model, the light blasted through layers of smoke created by a hazer.The image was then finished off by cooling the white balance to 4800° Kelvin.

All the time!

A third way you can utilize your umbrellas is to light a background. Placing a light on either side of the backdrop with one of these modifiers will produce much more even light compared to using a standard reflector. However, I wouldn’t recommend using the translucent umbrella for this role, because light might scatter everywhere and hit your subject. Instead, opt for white or silver umbrellas and position them so that the subject cannot see the interior. Alternatively, you can light your background and create a subtle edge light, if you angle the umbrellas so the subject can barely see a slice of the interior.

“Imagine having a compact kit with two Elinchrom THREEs in a backpack, a sling bag with two stands, two umbrellas, and a white diffuser. You will be able to light almost anything”

This is perhaps the most common way I incorporate umbrellas into my photography—simple, efficient, and effective. That’s what these modifiers are all about. Imagine having a compact kit with two Elinchrom THREEs in a backpack, a sling bag with two stands, two umbrellas, and a white diffuser. You will be able to light almost anything, whether you’re a wedding photographer on the go or a portrait photographer commuting on the subway. The only thing holding you back from your next adventure will be your imagination.

Elinchrom Umbrella To Go Kit
EL-26362

Elinchrom Umbrella To Go Kit with two Umbrellas 105 cm in Silver and White/Translucent. Silver for more contrast and intense lighting. Translucent as a shoot-through or bounce for soft and wide even spread with the unique option of keeping the cover on to make it white for a more neutral and soft look. These light modifiers are simple and straightforward to use and ready to go. Ideal for easy setups and groups of people.

Silver Umbrella

The silver umbrella is the definite fashion photographer’s choice. It’s fantastic in many ways. It offers great control over the spread of light and the light is harder than with the translucent umbrella. The shadows are well defined and the highlights are crispier with less chance of unwanted reflections. This kind of light is appreciated when details are key, which is why many fashion photographers use it – it makes fabrics’ details stand out like nothing else while being less harsh than a metallic reflector.

Fashion photographer’s choice.

2-in-1 Umbrella

A great option for beginners The translucent is a great option for beginners with no experience with off camera flashes. It creates a very soft light, similar to a diffused window light. What is so great about this kind of light is that it won’t make skin imperfections as visible as a beauty dish or a silver umbrella would. It’s also interesting when a wide spread of light is required. For example, wedding photographers will love this for group shots, while portrait and studio photographers may use it as a fill light.

Need more control over the light? Put the reflector back on and you have a reflective umbrella.

Elinchrom Umbrella Deep Translucent 105cm
EL-26354

Elinchrom Deep Transparent Umbrella 105 cm is a flexible light shaper with a deep, parabolic shape and translucent fabric. Use it as a shoot-through umbrella for broad, soft light, or aim the flash into the umbrella for a more focused light with greater influence on the ambient character of the room.

Fast and flexible light shaping

An umbrella is one of the easiest light shapers to work with. It opens in seconds, takes up minimal space during transport, and makes it easy to change the character of your light quickly. A practical choice for both studio work and location photography.

Elinchrom Deep Transparent Umbrella 105 cm

Even light distribution

The centred umbrella mount on Elinchrom flash units positions the light source correctly in relation to the umbrella, helping create even illumination across the entire surface. The integrated reflector behind the flash tube also helps use the available light efficiently.

Two light characteristics from one umbrella

The translucent fabric and deep shape give you two distinct ways to work with the light. Shoot through the umbrella to create a large, soft light source with broad and even coverage. Because the umbrella can be positioned close to your subject, it is easy to create smooth transitions and controlled shadows.

You can also aim the flash into the umbrella and reflect the light back towards your subject. The deep shape helps collect and direct most of the light, while some passes through the translucent fabric. Indoors, this light can bounce from walls and ceilings, contributing to a brighter overall ambience in the scene.

Rounder reflections with 16 ribs

The 16 ribs give the umbrella an even, near-circular shape. This is particularly useful for portraits, product photography, and other situations where the light shaper appears as a reflection in the subject or as a catchlight in the eyes.

More control with the optional back panel

A black back panel with a silver interior is available as an accessory. Once fitted, it limits the light that would otherwise pass through the back of the umbrella, giving you greater control over spill light and reducing reflections from walls and ceilings.

With the back panel attached, you get a more controlled and directional light while retaining the feel of a large light source.

Specifications

  • Diameter: 105 cm
  • Umbrella fabric: Translucent
  • 16 ribs for an even, rounded shape
  • Fibreglass ribs for low weight and good durability

Product FAQ

Yes. Elinchrom ONE & THREE has built-in Bluetooth and you can control ONE & THREE with Elinchrom Studio Software and/or the iOS App/Android App. In addition, ONE & THREE have a built-in Skyport Bridge so they communicate automatically with older Elinchrom flashes that can also be controlled via smartphone and computer.

Active Charge is a function that allows you to charge the flash's battery while you are shooting. The connection on ONE & THREE is USB-C, which makes it possible to use a USB-C power adapter or power bank to charge the built-in battery while the device is being used.

To lock the touchscreen on the ONE & THREE, press the ON button while turning on the device for 9 seconds. The lock symbol indicates that the touchscreen is locked, to unlock, turn the device OFF and ON again.

It is perfect to use the built-in LED light on ONE & THREE as lighting for film and video production. The light quality is very high, which means that colors and skin tones are reproduced correctly. In addition, the LED light can be adjusted in brightness and the color temperature can be adjusted in fixed steps from 2700K to 6500K. The brightness of the LED light is approx. 3000 Lumen and corresponds to a halogen lamp of approx. 120W

ONE and THREE have an OCF mount for light shapers as standard, which gives access to a large range of light shapers from different manufacturers. In addition, an adapter for Elinchrom bayonet is always included when you buy ONE & THREE, which means that the entire Elinchrom range of light shapers fits.

Yes, at our service the battery can be replaced but this type of question is mostly asked by prospective owners of ONE & THREE, very rarely by users as battery capacity and battery life is first class on Elinchrom products. The built-in battery has a very high capacity, which combined with advanced control of battery charging gives a very long battery life. The combination of built-in battery with high capacity and Active Charging via USB-C connection gives ONE & THREE unique performance. Tip! Always charge the battery after shooting. A completely discharged Li-Ion battery can be damaged if it is left for a long time without maintenance charging.
