Photography Question

Diff. between WHITE UMBRELLAS and SILVER UMBRELLAS


Can someone tell me what the difference between a WHITE UMBRELLA and a SILVER UMBRELLA?
Is there a difference in the "LOOK" a photograph gets when one or the other is used? Seems to me like they would both get a clean white reflection of the light source.
Thanks in advance
Willie

  White umbrellas are white and silver umbrellas are ..... . Well, I guess you know that part.

White umbrellas will give you a softer light than silver ones. A white umbrella with a black back will lose less light so you might want to look into that.
