The Photek SoftLighter Umbrella from our Studio & Lighting catalog combines the convenience of an umbrella with the soft light quality of a softbox, making it an essential tool for photographers seeking versatility and quality. This 60-inch modifier diffuses light twice, producing an even, flattering glow that is ideal for both portrait and product photography. Featuring a removable black cover, the SoftLighter can be used as a reflective or shoot-through umbrella, adding adaptability to your lighting setup. With a sturdy 10-panel construction, this umbrella offers enhanced stability and control, producing professional-grade light quality with circular catchlights for natural-looking portraits.
The Photek SoftLighter Umbrella takes on three lighting roles in one: a silver reflective umbrella, a shoot-through umbrella, and a softbox-style modifier with its attached diffusion panel. This versatility allows you to customize your light quality quickly, making it suitable for a wide range of creative setups. The reflective panel gives your images contrast and depth, while the shoot-through mode softens shadows, providing a flattering light that’s perfect for portraiture.
Unlike typical 8-panel umbrellas, the SoftLighter's unique 10-panel construction tightens the fabric tension, offering refined light control and consistent, even output. This results in beautifully rounded catchlights in your subjects’ eyes, enhancing portrait quality and adding a polished, professional look to every shot.
The umbrella’s 8mm shaft is removable, allowing you to position your light source closer to your subject without interference. This is especially beneficial in smaller studios or tight setups, as you can control the light placement more precisely, creating a smooth transition between light and shadow that is perfect for beauty and portrait work.
Constructed from high-quality materials, the Photek SoftLighter is designed to withstand regular use in professional environments. Its fiberglass frame provides durability without adding weight, and the umbrella comes with a protective carrying case for easy storage and transport.
The removable black nylon backing gives you the flexibility to switch between reflective and shoot-through modes, enhancing light control in your shots. Remove the backing to use the SoftLighter as a soft, diffused light source or keep it on for a higher-contrast effect, ideal for creating standout highlights in product or beauty photography.
Complete your setup with the Savage Widetone Seamless Background Paper in Thunder Gray from Samy’s Camera, providing a smooth, neutral backdrop that pairs perfectly with the soft, flattering light of the Photek SoftLighter Umbrella. For precise lighting control, add the Sekonic L-308X-U Flashmate Light Meter, ensuring accurate exposure for each shot. These essentials elevate your lighting setup, helping you achieve professional, consistent results every time.
Designed for photographers who value high-quality, versatile lighting, the Photek SoftLighter Umbrella is an essential addition to any lighting setup. With its ability to shape light to suit any scene, the SoftLighter makes achieving professional results effortless. Whether you’re capturing portraits, products, or on-location shots, this umbrella’s durable design and adaptable features ensure you’ll have beautiful, consistent lighting every time.
