Studio Umbrella GlareOne silver 100 cm — GlareOne 11393-uniw

The GlareOne studio umbrella with a 100 cm silver interior is a reflective accessory for photographic lighting setups. Designed to deliver a broad, directional, and bright light output, this umbrella attaches to standard umbrella holders and expands light from studio flashes or continuous lights into a controlled, even beam. Its 100 cm diameter offers a balance between light coverage and portability, making it suitable for portrait, product, and general studio photography when you need defined yet softened highlights.

Advantages

The silver interior increases light output and contrast compared with white umbrellas, preserving specular highlights while maintaining a relatively even spread. At 100 cm across, the umbrella yields a larger light source than small reflectors, producing soft shadows with moderate falloff. Construction designed for compatibility with common studio stands and flash mounts allows quick setup and secure attachment. The combination of reflectivity and size makes it effective for creating directional fill, rim, or key lighting with controlled intensity.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography requiring bright, directional soft light
• Product and still-life shoots where specular highlights are desirable
• Studio setups for fashion, editorial, or small-group lighting
• On-location shoots when a portable reflective modifier is needed

Key specifications

• Type: Reflective studio umbrella with silver interior
• Diameter: 100 cm
• Light behavior: Increases contrast and output while softening shadows
• Compatibility: Fits standard umbrella mounts and most studio light stands
• Primary use: Works with studio flash units and continuous lighting

How to use

Mount the umbrella into the umbrella holder on your light stand or flash bracket with the reflective (silver) side facing the subject. Position the umbrella at the desired angle and distance to control coverage, contrast, and shadow softness; closer placement increases softness and coverage, while moving it farther away reduces apparent source size and increases contrast. For a more diffused result, pair the reflective umbrella with a shoot-through diffuser or use an additional diffusion panel between the light and umbrella. Ensure the umbrella is securely fastened and balanced on the stand before adjusting the light output of your flash or continuous source.

Usage recommendations

Use the silver GlareOne umbrella when you need brighter, more contrasty illumination than a white umbrella provides. Combine with grids, snoots, or flags to control spill and shape the light for specific highlights. When working with delicate skin tones, test exposure and angle to avoid excessive specular reflections.
