From striking portraiture to dramatic fashion images, the Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish for Elinchrom Mount is an essential light modifier for professional photographers and videographers. This sleek and modern beauty dish utilizes a unique double parabolic reflector system to achieve its distinctive diffusion properties. The result is a lighting effect that combines the directness of a flash with the softness of a softbox, creating a wrap-around look that enhances contrast and brings out the intricate details of your subject. The silver finish of this 22" beauty dish not only adds a stylish touch but also delivers a higher output, creating more contrast and highlighting more detail in your subject.
This makes it an ideal choice for head and shoulders portraits, dramatic half-figure studies, or subjects in tight spaces where traditional softboxes and umbrellas may not be effective. The design of the Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish includes a small opaque reflective cover suspended directly over the light source. This prevents direct light from hitting the subject, instead bouncing the light backwards off a small interior disk and flooding the larger bowl of the beauty dish. This results in a softer, wider cast of light than a standard reflector, and a more natural effect than a speedlight.
The position of the small center reflector cap is adjustable, allowing you to control the spread of light to the large bowl and accommodate tall or high wattage modeling lights. The beauty dish also comes with a diffusion fabric panel, or "socks", which fits snugly over the rim of the dish to soften the ring of focused light, lower contrast, and soften shadow edges. Whether you're a glamour photographer looking to enhance curves and muscles, or a sports photographer aiming to highlight texture, the Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish is a versatile tool that adds dimension and tactile sensation to your visual experience.
For even more control over your light source's beam, consider the optional Glow honeycomb grid, which can feather hard light for an attractive shadow and add high key depth for fashion images. In summary, the Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish for Elinchrom Mount is a high-quality, versatile lighting accessory that can enhance your photography and videography projects with its unique diffusion properties and adjustable features.
