Silver
The definite fashion photographer’s choice
The silver umbrella is the definite fashion photographer’s choice. It’s fantastic in many ways.
As you can notice with the comparative images, it offers great control over the spread of light.
The light is harder than with the translucent umbrella. The shadows are well defined and the highlights are crispier.
This kind of light is appreciated when details are key, which is why many fashion photographers use it – it makes fabrics’ details stand out like nothing else while being less harsh than a metallic reflector.
