Adorama | Umbrella vs Softbox | LIVE with Gavin Hoey @Adorama | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
Umbrellas are often the starting point for many photographers entering the wonderful world of portrait photography for the first time. Umbrellas are cheap to buy, quick to set up, and do a great job when used correctly. So why do so many experienced photographers use softboxes?

In this hour-long live session, Gavin Hoey takes you through the pros and cons of using a budget silver/black umbrella compared to a similar-sized softbox. Gavin will use both light modifiers to create several different looks comparing the convenience of use in the real world, the actual lighting results you can get with flash, and how easy each is to modify with accessories.

Whether you're a beginner looking to improve your lighting skills or an experienced photographer seeking to refine your studio craft, this hour-long live stream is for you. Join the conversation, get your questions answered live, and help steer the session. Or just watch along and enjoy the show.
