Reflector Umbrella Elinchrom 26761 — 105 cm diameter, black exterior white interior

Elinchrom 26761 is a 105 cm diameter reflector umbrella with a black exterior and white interior designed for studio lighting. The umbrella reflects flash or continuous light to produce a broad, soft, and evenly distributed illumination. Its medium-large size and neutral white interior surface help minimize color cast while providing smooth diffusion suitable for portraits, fashion shoots and product photography requiring controlled soft light.

Advantages

The black outer fabric limits light spill and provides directional control, while the white inner surface maintains neutral color rendering and smooth reflection. The large 105 cm opening increases the apparent light source size, reducing harsh shadows and creating gradual falloff. Constructed for compatibility with Elinchrom mounts and many common studio heads, the umbrella is straightforward to mount and adjust for varied lighting setups.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography with soft, flattering light
• Fashion and beauty shoots requiring even illumination
• Product photography for diffuse, shadow-controlled lighting
• Small studio setups using flash or continuous lights

Key specifications

• Diameter: 105 cm
• Exterior color: black (light-blocking)
• Interior color: white (neutral reflective surface)
• Reflector type: solid reflector umbrella for indirect/diffused light
• Compatible mounting: fits Elinchrom-style umbrella mounts and common studio heads

How to use

Open the umbrella fully and secure it in the mount of your studio head or light stand, ensuring the shaft is seated firmly. Position the reflective (white) side toward the light source and angle the umbrella to direct reflected light toward the subject; the black exterior should face away from the subject to prevent unwanted spill. Adjust distance between light and umbrella to control softness—closer yields softer light, farther yields slightly harder light. Combine with grids, flags or additional modifiers as needed to refine contrast and direction.

Recommendations

Use the umbrella with a stable light stand and appropriate umbrella mount rated for your flash or continuous head. For portrait work place the umbrella relatively close to the subject (around 1–2 meters) to maximize softness. When precise control is required, add flags or use a hair/light separation to avoid background illumination. Avoid exposing the fabrics to moisture or abrasive surfaces to maintain reflective properties.
