Hi i would like to know what are the difference between a

Shoot Through Umbrella
Bounce Umbrella

?

Thank you so much!
 
Shoot through speads the light a lot more. Reflective tend to be more directional. You can also get silver, gold, white, half silver, etc for the bounce ones.

A shoot through you can place a lot closer to your subject.

FWIW I have a silver reflective one, and a reversible shoot-through / white reflective, for my hotshoe flashes.
 
Have a look on the Strobist blog as I'm pretty sure it talks about this topic on there.

Shoot through gives you a softer more wider spread

Reflective gives you, in a way a harsher light. As Jayst84, more directional, so better for bringing out highlights. Also the colour of the reflective material gives different affects, gold etc
