white , silver, gold umbrellas for Photography studio. How do I know which one to use?
from your experience can you tell me what would be appropriate when using
white / gold / silver umbrella? like how do I know which one is best for what protraits?
You will find a useful overview guide and some comparison shots with different umbrellas here – http://cameradojo.com/2007/09/03/using-an-umbrella/
There are 2 main types of umbrellas, bounce and shoot through. A bounce umbrella is one that you aim the light into and bounce back towards the subject and a shoot through umbrella is where the light is aimed at the subject through a translucent umbrella making the umbrella act like a large soft-box.
I think you are asking about the bounce type so basically the white will give the softest even spread of light, the silver will be more specular and less soft, the gold will be similar to the silver but give a warm tone effect.
