Feathering Light with a 38' White Umbrella

Watch lighting master James Schmelzer demonstrate how to setup and use a 38" white umbrella to light a subject.

The Rogue 38" white umbrella is a snap to setup, and ideal for use when lighting full length portraits. If desired, you can also cover the front of the umbrella with the included natural white diffuser to make an even softer light with a wider dispersion.

The 38" umbrella is made with fiberglass ribs for durability, and with a closed length of just 23.5" it fits in most carry-on luggage.

Thanks James and team for creating these short feature packed videos love the products - Are you allowed to tell us which lightstand you have there? It looks like a nice generous height more than 2 metres, all mine are around 1.9m so fairly light to carry but a little too short on the hight

would you recommend the 38" umbrella to use with the Stella Pro Reflex S light? I noticed in the video you were using the CLx10.

When I feather the light with a black backing umbrella it created a stark shadow right behind the subject in the shape of the umbrella. How do you avoid that?

...just wondering- what kind of LED light is that?
