Westcott Diffusion Fabric for Umbrella
Best professional diffusion for large studio lighting setups.
This simple fabric cover instantly transforms a standard parabolic umbrella into a massive, flattering softbox. It’s an incredibly portable way to achieve that signature octabank look without hauling heavy gear, though you sacrifice some of the punchy contrast you’d get from a bare reflector.
