Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish for Flashpoint Mount

From striking portraiture to dramatic fashion photography, the Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish for Flashpoint Mount is an essential tool for professional photographers. This high-quality, durable, and shiny silver beauty dish is renowned for its unique diffusion properties, achieved through a double parabolic reflector system. The Glow Beauty Dish creates a lighting effect that beautifully bridges the gap between a direct flash and a softbox. It delivers a wrap-around look similar to a softbox, but with enhanced contrast and a more dramatic, directed beam. The silver finish of the dish not only enhances output but also accentuates contrast and brings out the intricate details of your subject.

Designed for versatility, this 22" beauty dish can be mounted onto most brands of studio flash and monolights using separately purchased speedrings. It is ideal for head and shoulder portraits, dramatic half-figure studies, and subjects in tight spaces where traditional softboxes and umbrellas may not be suitable. The design of the Glow 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 the interior disk and flooding the larger bowl of the beauty dish.

The result is a softer, wider cast of light than a standard reflector, and far less harsh than a speedlight. The position of the center reflector cap is adjustable, allowing control over the spread to the large bowl and accommodating tall or high wattage modeling lights. The dish also includes a diffusion fabric panel, or "sock", which softens the ring of focused light, lowers contrast, and softens shadow edges. The Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish is a favorite among glamour and sports photographers, who use it to enhance curves, muscles, and texture with crisp lighting.

The optional Glow honeycomb grid can be used to gain more control of the light source's beam, feathering the hard light for an attractive shadow. In conclusion, the Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish for Flashpoint Mount is a versatile, high-quality lighting accessory that adds dimension and tactile sensation to your photography, making it an indispensable tool in your professional photography arsenal.
