Photo studio reflector umbrella Elinchrom 105 cm black/white model E26763

The Elinchrom 105 cm black/white reflector umbrella is a large-format light modifier designed to produce soft, even illumination for photographic applications. With a 105 cm (41") diameter, a black outer shell and a white reflective interior, this umbrella controls light spill and creates broad diffusion suitable for portraits, product shots and commercial work. It is compatible with studio flash heads and most speedlights and is compact when folded for transport and storage.

Advantages

The black exterior minimizes unwanted light spill and increases directional control, while the white interior delivers neutral, soft reflection without altering color balance. Its size provides substantial coverage for single-subject setups or small groups, and the umbrella's simple mounting mechanism ensures quick assembly and stable attachment to standard umbrella shafts or light stands.

• Portrait photography — soft, flattering light for headshots and environmental portraits

How to use

Open the umbrella until fully extended and secure the runner in the locked position. Attach the umbrella shaft into the umbrella holder of your studio flash head or mount it on a light stand using an appropriate adapter, ensuring the white interior faces the subject. Position the light source at the umbrella's shaft or behind the umbrella as recommended by your flash or modifier setup to achieve the desired spread and softness. Adjust distance and angle relative to the subject to control shadow strength and coverage.

Usage recommendations

For portrait work, place the umbrella close to the subject to maximize softness while maintaining enough distance to avoid uneven falloff. When using speedlights, use an adapter or bracket that secures the flash near the umbrella shaft and test power settings to maintain consistent exposure. Store the umbrella in a protective sleeve when not in use to preserve the fabric surfaces.
