A truly unique lighting tool. Combining the directional quality of the umbrella, with the softness and evenness of a softbox. The CL Softbox Umbrella is conceived as a one step set-up solution for some of the trickiest lighting situations. The non-removable translucent fabric covers the front of the umbrella. So, as light reflects from the color correct white fabric, it passes through the translucent layer softening the light, hiding imperfections in the subjects surface, like skin blemishes or wrinkles. The heavy duty construction ensures it will hold up to professional use whether it is in your studio or in the trunk of your car.
