Jiggie, is amazing! Very easy to understand! I never knew why a shoot-through umbrella was so important 😐. Thank you for demonstrating how the light, light placement, and camera settings capture light and contrast. Also, how the light spreads out and decreases the shadows with white reflector. Cannot wait to try this! And I also would LOVE a backdrop to practice this!

a really nice diffused light with the umbrella,more difficult to feather this type of modifier,as opposed to a softbox type modifier,due to the light bouncing about with less control.saying that,you did a very good job with it and the reflector in the final image.thanks again.
