Umbrella Vs Softbox: Does It REALLY Matter Which One You Use?

Umbrella Vs Softbox: Does It REALLY Matter Which One You Use? | Photography For Beginners

When it comes to speedlight lighting modifiers, umbrellas and softboxes are the two most commonly used modifiers. In this video, I take some test shots to determine if there's any difference in lighting on the subject when using an umbrella versus a softbox.

@alexalexxis170 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Great video. I started studying my light modifiers by shooting the modifier itself (lowest power on your speedlight + smallest aperture on your lens). Doing that, you will notice that even though a shoot through umbrella is fairly large, it still acts as a small modifier because the flash is not centered and the beam is not that wide even when your flash is completely zoomed out @ 24mm. So depending on how far back the flash sits, how close to the umbrella shaft it is positioned and also the zoom settings on your flash, you can alter how your umbrella changes it's character. I have a godox octabox umbrella similar to yours and while studying it by photographing it, I saw that basically you only use about half it's surface. It becomes much softer, with the light much more evenly spread by using 2 speedlights in it (on a tri-flash bracket). Even better with 3 flashes. It also cuts way down your recycling times (for event photography). Cheers!

@AnthonyToglife 6 жыл бұрын

Indeed Alex. I rarely (if ever) would position the umbrella close to the flash. That's just not a strong suit for using an umbrella (unless you were going for the light/look it produced). Unless I'm using a bracket that allows for a more center position of the flash, I always place the top half of the umbrella where I want the light to be. You can see that in the video. That's the key with any light modifier - understanding how it functions so you can best use it for what you're trying to shoot. Thanks for the comment.

There are ways to focus umbrellas more - partially collapsing them; placing your light further up the shaft so you use less of the umbrella's surface. There are also the umbrella modifiers (reflective and shoot-through) with diffusers like the Photek Softlighter and many others like it that provide basically the same amount of control called brolly boxes. There are reflective umbrellas that have a black backing that are obviously more effective. I use umbrellas (all manner of softboxes and beauty dishes, too) regularly and depending on the type of umbrella you use you can get a very focused light (think true parabolic umbrellas that are deeper than regular ones therefore much more focused, especially when used with the available diffusers). I need that mannequin bust, though lol. Bottom line is that both softboxes and umbrellas have their myriad uses.

@AnthonyToglife 6 жыл бұрын

Indeed Jason! I intended to keep this video basic mainly targeted to those that are just getting into lighting but yes, both umbrella's and softboxes can be used in a plethora of ways to get the light you're looking for. Thanks for watching my video, and thanks for your comment.

Nicely presented. I stopped using umbrellas for the most part due greatly to the inability to easily control the spill. Adding a grid to a large softbox is like having the best of both worlds, control and softness. The one thing you didn't mention was the specular highlight being square instead of round. It's a minor thing, but some people prefer round specular highlights in the eyes, which you won't get with a square or rectangular softbox.

Great video Anthony! The test an info are still relevant today and beyond. After many years of using softboxes exclusively, I find myself reaching for umbrellas more than ever before these days. I'm finally at the point where I know what to expect from different modifiers and which I prefer using in a given situation. Between saving time and effort setting them up, affordability, and just loving the looks I can achieve, the umbrella is an essential light shaping tool for my work.

Umbrellas are great teachers. Back when Moses was still in his basket umbrellas were all most of us had. They were made out of cotton and were much sturdier than today’s. For very young people, below working age, I strongly recommend them as they are so affordable from pocket money etc. They are a fantastic starting point as it’s easier to seeing the impact from the get go. Great presentation skills, you really bring your viewer in as if you are talking to them one to one. No right or wrong, just openly explaining the impact of each modifier. All too often it feels like KZfaqrs need to shout at you, where you don’t. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours, but as I’ve subscribed it won’t be the last...even though I never shoot portraits.

I always liked shooting with umbrellas and in a studio they appear to make sense, however the "ideal" lighting is actually made with a soft box and even more so with telescopic style dome softboxes that I'm seeing most professional portrait photographers are using. I would like to see a follow-up video if you were to explore that topic some.

Great tutorial, I have wondered about what was meant when the term "soft light" was used, now I know.

Good video . Whenever you can, make one using brolly boxes. I find them to resolve most of my problems just like a soft box and they are fast to put up and then throw in your bag and go. I usually take a shoot thru brolly (the black side on the back and the whole umbrella is shoot thru) and one that is all black and the back is shoot thru. I try to take the largest ones I have and now with the new Godox 200AD lights they work super.-At any rate, thanks one more time.

Well presented video Anthony. Umbrellas can be controlled but they don't offer as much control as a soft box does. With umbrellas you can. 1. shoot through 2. shoot reflective. 3. half cover the umbrella ( if you have a black cover with it) 4. half close the umbrella down for poor mans softbox. 5. choke the umbrella further on the shaft to control the spread.. it will change the shadow pattern and softness/hardness. Umbrellas often get a bad rep when actually they can be a very useful tool. Also I have to say it. Light does not wrap around it is simple the shadow side of your subject seeing part of the modifier/light

Thank you for the amazing video, i have both and the reason i most use the umbrella is because sometimes it saves me time when i go to the client. Congrats from Brazilian subscribers.

Absolutely @Paulo Ferreira, I just used an umbrella a couple days ago with a client, because it was easy and quick to set up. Umbrella's tend to get a bad rap sometimes but if you know what you're doing, an umbrella can be a great choice for a modifier.
