Profoto 100975 Umbrella Shallow Silver M (105cm/41")

The Profoto Umbrella Shallow Silver M is built for photographers who want light with a point of view — not the diffused, directionless wrap of a large white modifier, but structured, specular output that gives faces dimension and fashion imagery its characteristic edge. The silver interior amplifies the strobe's native color temperature and pushes light forward with intent: you get defined shadow transitions, a brightness that reads well in high-key and mid-key setups, and a quality that separates beautifully from the background. At 41 inches, it's the right scale for single-subject headshots and three-quarter portraits — large enough to avoid the harsh quality of a direct bare strobe, focused enough to stay out of the background and off the ambient surfaces of a smaller studio.

Profoto's construction standards are evident in the details: heat-resistant fabric at the reflective surface means you're not managing degradation or discoloration after high-power sessions, and the corrosion-treated ribs stay straight and true through repeated folding and transport. The included carrying bag is a practical touch for location shooters who are moving this modifier between studios and on-location setups. The umbrella shaft is compatible with Profoto's standard umbrella holders and broadly fits third-party stands — setup is fast and the modifier is ready to shoot in under a minute. For photographers building a portable, high-output portrait kit around Profoto gear, the Shallow Silver M delivers exactly the kind of controlled, professional-quality light that justifies the price premium over generic alternatives.
