GODOX 33.5" (85CM) SILVER PARABOLIC UMBRELLA

The deep, silver interior on this 85cm umbrella really does create a beautifully soft, directional light that’s easy to control. I was surprised how quickly it sets up and collapses for storage, perfect for my small home studio. Definitely a step up from my old shoot-through.

The silver coating really throws a crisp, even beam once you get the flash pointed right—I've used it for two portrait sessions and the catchlights in the eyes are gorgeous. It folds down quick enough that I don't dread hauling it to a location shoot.

Finally got to use this with a speedlight for headshots and the light falloff is so smooth it saves me tons of editing time. The silver interior really kicks out a crisp contrast without being harsh.
