The most direct of all the Creative Light umbrella options, the Translucent Umbrella is designed to shoot through.
While most umbrellas point the light away from the subject to allow light to reflect back to the subject, the translucent umbrella works the opposite way. By positioning the back of the umbrella directly at the subject, the light source shines in the same direction, offering a layer of translucent material between the light and the subject. This direct approach expands on the directional, higher contrast feel of the Silver Umbrella and is ideal whenever you want to dramatize surface textures, or provide a more directional light. Of course, since the light is diffused, it is still soft and can be made softer by choosing a larger size translucent umbrella and sliding the shaft of the umbrella so the flash is further away from the fabric.
Special alloy composites make the frame, locking mechanism and joints flexible enough to handle the use and abuse of the real world, while being rigid enough to hold its shape when it really counts - on set. The universal 8 mm shaft guaranties compatibility with all brands of flash. CL umbrellas are also approved for use with continuous hot lights, up to 500 watts.
All four model CL umbrellas come standard with a heavy duty, soft-sided storage case ensuring long life.
