Depending on what your shooting you should really get away from umbrella's, they scatter light everywhere and in most cases overlight your subject. tooo many guys use too much light for a shadowless look, learn to use the black in pictures to give things a shape and a depth, that is the real key. Even though we use four speedetron boxes and usually 6-8 lights, I seperate all the settings to give me the perfect look. It just takes practice, but black is an importnat thing to learn to have in your pictures. Or you can just simply make them glow using a photoshop filter, which many of the non photographers use to give it a jerky look.
