Umbrella lights are a type of lighting equipment commonly used in photography and videography. They consist of a light source, usually a bulb, mounted on a stand, with a large, reflective umbrella that diffuses the light. This setup helps to create soft, even illumination, reducing harsh shadows and enhancing the overall quality of the image. These lights are popular among both amateur and professional photographers for their versatility and ease of use. They can be adjusted in height and angle, making them suitable for various shooting environments. Umbrella lights are often used in studios, but they can also be effective for outdoor shoots, especially during low-light conditions.
