How to Set Up Umbrella Lights ~ Enhance Photography Skill

Umbrellas are used to adjust light for photography and film. A flash or strobe connects to an umbrella holder and points into the umbrella. Lights are automatic or triggered by pushing a button on the camera. When the light goes off, it hits the umbrella and is directed out toward the subject. The umbrella creates a diffused light effect that stops harsh light from creating unwanted shadows. Umbrella lights are simple to set up if you have the correct equipment.

Instructions

Place the umbrella stand upright by popping out the tripod legs. Screw the legs into place with the turning knob to secure it on the ground. Always set up the stand on a flat surface.

Fit the umbrella holder on top of the stand. The holder has a hot shoe on top to hold the camera or flash and a circular hole on bottom. Insert the brass bushing on top of the stand into the umbrella holder. Tighten the screw to secure the holder in place.

Slide the flash into the hot shoe, and tighten the thumb screw to hold it in place. If you are working with a flash trigger, twist it onto the bottom of the flash, and fit the whole flash unit into the hot shoe.

Pop out the umbrella, and slide the rod into the cylindrical hole located on in the middle of the holder, below the hot shoe. The hole is angled slightly. Insert the rod so that it is lower than the umbrella. Tighten the screw on the side to hold it into place.

Adjust the angle of the flash so it points into the center of the umbrella. Turn the knob located above the hot shoe to angle the flash. Tighten the screw when it is in place.
