Just imagine capturing striking portraiture and fashion images with the Glow 20.5" White Softlight Beauty Dish Reflector. This professional-grade light modifier is renowned for its unique diffusion properties, achieved through a double reflector system. The resulting effect is a blend between a direct flash and a softbox, creating a wraparound look that is dreamy yet contrasted, and delivers a natural feel to your images.
The white finish of this beauty dish reflector gently enhances output, creating contrast that brings out the intricate details of your subject. It's designed to mount onto a wide variety of studio flash and monolights, offering versatility through the use of separately purchased speedrings.
The 20.5" White Softlight Beauty Dish Reflector is ideal for head and shoulders portraits, dramatic half-figure studies, or subjects in tight spaces where softboxes and umbrellas may not be suitable. This professional version of the dish includes two deflector plates. The first plate acts as the original beauty dish design concept, preventing direct light from hitting the subject and creating a softer light than a standard reflector. The second plate is porous, allowing a small degree of direct but disbursed light to enhance the lighting mix.
An adjustable mid reflector cap allows you to control the spread of light to the large bowl, accommodating unusually tall or high wattage modeling lights. The included diffusion fabric panel, known as a "sock," fits snugly over the rim of the dish, tempering the ring of focused light and resulting in softer shadow edges.
Photographers across genres, from glamour to sports, utilize the Glow 20.5" White Softlight Beauty Dish Reflector for its ability to sculpt facial features, create beautiful shadows and catchlights, and enhance curves, muscles, and texture. When arranged in a vertical tower array, the beauty dish can accentuate more of the model's full figure.
The interior of the Glow Beauty Dish is available in two coatings. The silver finish delivers higher output and more contrast, while the pure white interior version minimizes hot spots and smoothes skin tone. The optional Glow 30 Degree honeycomb grid offers further control of the light source's beam, feathering the hard light for an attractive shadow and adding high key depth for fashion images.
In essence, the Glow 20.5" White Softlight Beauty Dish Reflector with Bowens Mount Adapter is a versatile, effective tool for photographers seeking to elevate their lighting game and produce high-quality, professional images.
