I have a silly question about photo umbrellas. When setting up the flash stand, should I ever shoot through the umbrella, or should I bounce the light off the umbrella back onto the subject? I actually prefer shooting through a white umbrella as it’s perfect for creating nice big catch lights in the eyes. Essentially, it’s very similar to using a softbox as the quality of the flash will be quite diffused. PicsArt Monthly |37
