Photo Umbrellas help you manipulate your light source. If you are working inside, chances are you’ll need separate lighting, but on outdoor shoots you can often get by with sunlight and your umbrellas. Reflective umbrellas should be positioned away from the subject allowing for light to bounce off the umbrella and onto the subject. When using shoot-through umbrellas, the light is aimed at the subject. Keeping these umbrellas behind the subject will keep the light direct.
Even with umbrellas, lighting is likely to remain somewhat tricky, and you’ll need to experiment with positioning in order to get your set up the way you want. Changing the height and angle or the umbrellas as well as the distance between them and the subject are all things that can get the effect you want. Generally, shoot-through umbrellas are for great for eliminating shadows and reflective umbrellas for brightening a subject.
