Shoot-Throughs Offer Softer Light
Shoot-through umbrellas are ideal for close-up photography because they create soft light and evenly illuminate the subject you're shooting. When placed close to the subject, shoot-throughs also work well for outdoor head shots where you want to create natural light and subdued shadows, photographer David Hobby writes at Strobist.com.
Reflective Umbrellas Create Shadows
Because light bounces off reflective umbrellas, they can create more dramatic, pronounced shadows than shoot-through umbrellas can, according to the Camera Dojo website. They work well for portraits where contrast is desired and can create even coverage over larger areas than shoot-throughs for full-length or large group portraits.
Bottom Line
Photographer David Hobby recommends having both types of umbrella on hand so that you can rotate them as needed for specific types of shots. Photography umbrellas are relatively inexpensive. Having more than one can expand the range of effects in your photos.
