    Scott Kelby says "DONT EVER USE A REFLECTIVE UMBRELLA…EVER" use a shoot through or a softbox.

    @stewartx5 I was going to say the same thing. I use the black on my umbrellas when I want to prevent spill.

    Don't ask racist questions and you will not get racist answers, it's that simple…

    And wtf is that question anyway, why wouldn't anyone photograph black people?

    White umbrellas make people look dead, not good. Use a large silver reflector and correct wrinkles and skin blemishes in Photoshop. Normal healthy skin does have a certain amount of moisture content, so some small degree of sheen is normal and healthy looking. Matte flat looking skin and eyes are not normal.

    Could u explain a bit more on the sizes of the softbox? How do i determine which size to use, let's say for a group photo of 5~10 ppl (full body), thanx in advance.

    I know nothing about Portrait Photograhy and bought a used Canon 20D, 85mm 1.2L Lens, and an Opteka EF-600 DG Super Flash form Ebay. What other lighting equipment do I need to buy from Ebay. I'm so confused. Gold / Silver / White Umbrellas, Strobe Lights and Continious Lights. What umbrella, softbox and lights do I need?
