Westcott Diffusion Panel for Deep Umbrella
Best simple light modifier for studio and on location photographers.
This simple fabric cover instantly transforms your deep umbrella into a softbox, delivering the flattering, wrapped light usually reserved for more expensive modifiers. It’s a brilliant, low-profile hack for portraiture, though you do sacrifice the raw, punchy output of an open umbrella for that softer, more controlled glow.
