## Summary description

BIG Helios umbrella, 100 cm diameter, white interior/black exterior, designed for studio and on-location photography. Functions as a reflective and shoot-through lighting modifier to soften and shape light from strobes or continuous lights. Simple to mount on standard light stands; suitable for portraits, product shoots and general soft lighting, providing even diffusion and controlled contrast.

## Long description

The BIG Helios 100 cm umbrella with a white interior and black exterior is a lighting modifier for studio and on-location photography that can be used as a reflective or shoot-through modifier. Its transparent design for shoot-through use reduces direct luminous intensity while adding a subtle background reflection when used in transmitted-light mode. The umbrella mounts on standard light stands and is intended to soften and shape light from strobes or continuous lights for more even illumination and controlled contrast.
Advantages
This umbrella offers dual functionality as a reflective and shoot-through modifier, enabling flexible control over light quality. The 100 cm diameter provides broad, soft illumination suitable for close and mid-distance shots. The black exterior controls unwanted spill while the white interior delivers neutral, even diffusion. The simple mounting system fits standard stands, allowing quick setup on location or in the studio.
Suitable for
Portrait photography where soft, even light is required
Product and still-life shoots to reduce harsh shadows
On-location sessions that need portable softening of strobe or continuous lights
Key specifications
Brand: BIG
Model / MPN: 428302
EAN: 4801914283024
Diameter: 100 cm
Interior colour: white
Exterior colour: black
Function: reflective (black outside/white inside) and shoot-through (transmitted light)
Compatible with standard light stands
How to use
Mount the umbrella on a compatible umbrella holder or swivel adapter attached to a standard light stand. For reflective use, point the light source into the white interior so light bounces back toward the subject, adjusting distance to control softness and coverage. For shoot-through use, position the strobe or continuous light behind the umbrella and angle it toward the subject so light passes through the material; increase distance or add diffusion if needed to reduce hotspotting. Secure all mounts and test exposure before shooting.
Usage recommendations
The umbrella is suitable for portrait, product and general studio work; for product photography, use the reflective setup for controlled contrast and the shoot-through setup when a softer, wrap-around effect is desired. Handle the ribs and fabric gently during setup and store the umbrella dry to preserve material and shape.
