Light-Softening Tools

Umbrellas provide a very quick, simple and cost-effective

means for creating soft light. Choose from a number of
different materials for different lighting effects.

100cm (39.4") Silver Umbrella

Silver is the most efficient, giving the brightest output.The light produced
has a high contrast and is quite specular. A good size for quality studio
work. BW1815

100cm (39.4") White Umbrella

The white umbrella is by far the most popular. It gives beautiful soft, even
illumination over a wide area and is neutral in its tone. Bowens white
umbrellas are made of a single layer of colour-balanced translucent nylon,
which gives the option of bouncing the light or shooting through. Shooting
through an umbrella allows the light to be placed closer to the subject,
producing a softer light. Produces a good soft lighting effect. BW1816

100cm (39.4") White/Silver Umbrella

This uniquely efficient umbrella features a silver backing over the
translucent interior fabric.This stops any light passing through the fabric,
which gives better control and optimum output.This is one of our most
Octo 150
popular umbrellas. BW1817 Don’t let its eight-side name fool you, the Octo 150 is a unique large soft
box which offers several non-traditional soft box features that will be of
particular interest to portrait photographers.
Unlike the other large octagonal soft boxes on the market today, the
Octo 150 features a perfectly round front diffuser for perfectly round catch
lights, which are cleaner and more pleasing than its multi-sided
counterparts. Another difference is how the light unit is mounted within
the unit, which in the case of the Octo 150 is facing the rear cloth, or
away from the subject.This offers two distinct advantages over traditional
soft boxes.The first advantage is that the Octo 150 does not have the
extra levels or layers of diffusion fabric between the light source and the
front diffusion fabric, making it an unusually efficient soft box that can be
used with a relatively small flash such as an Esprit 500.
The other significant advantage of this design is the evenness of
illumination on the front cloth. Interior silvered and white surfaces have
been designed to ensure the optimum evenness on the front cloth. And
because the front cloth is so even, it can be used close to the subject to
produce maximum softness as well as maximum light output.
Another versatile aspect of the Octo 150 is that it can be used with all
popular makes of studio flash. It is easy to assemble and includes non-slip
adjustments and a long external handle for easy maneuvering. BW1650
