Westcott Apollo Deep Umbrella

The deep profile creates a more focused, directional light source. This shape helps minimize light spill and produces more defined catchlights in your subject's eyes, making it particularly effective for portraiture.

You can use it with both. While it mounts easily to most studio lights, it is also compatible with speedlights, provided you use an appropriate mounting bracket to secure the flash.

It is designed for instant setup. The umbrella opens and closes like a standard umbrella, requiring no complex assembly or tensioning of ribs, which makes it ideal for photographers who need to move quickly between locations.

The interior umbrella shaft allows you to slide the light source forward or backward. This adjustment changes the spread and intensity of the light, giving you more creative control over how soft or punchy your final image looks.

The frame is built with 16 fiberglass ribs, which are significantly more durable and flexible than standard metal ribs. This construction helps the umbrella maintain its shape and resist damage during transport.

While a silver interior is generally more specular and punchy, the white interior of this umbrella provides a softer, more natural light quality. It is designed to maximize output while maintaining a flattering, even spread that is perfect for skin tones.
