Glow 28" White Beauty Dish for Balcar White Lighting & Alien Bees Mount

How can you elevate your portraiture and fashion photography to the next level The Glow 28" White Beauty Dish for Balcar White Lighting & Alien Bees Mount is the answer. This renowned light modifier is designed to create striking images with a unique blend of contrast and detail. The Glow Beauty Dish employs a double parabolic reflector system to achieve its distinctive diffusion properties. This innovative design results in a lighting effect that combines the characteristics of a direct flash and a softbox. The outcome is a wrap-around look akin to a softbox, but with heightened contrast and a more dramatic, directed beam.

The white finish of the Glow Beauty Dish enhances the soft output, creating more contrast and highlighting the intricate details of your subject. This versatile beauty dish can be mounted onto most brands of studio flash and monolights using speedrings, which are sold separately. The 28" White version is particularly effective for everything from head and shoulders portraits to dramatic full-figure studies. It's also ideal for 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 small interior disk and flooding the larger bowl of the beauty dish. The result is a wider cast of softer light than a standard reflector can provide, and far less harsh than a speedlight. The Glow Beauty Dish also comes with a diffusion fabric panel, commonly known as "socks". This translucent diffusion circle fits snugly over the rim of the dish, softening the focused light ring and creating softer shadow edges. The spread of light is significantly increased, resulting in beautiful catch lights and a natural window light aura.

The Glow Beauty Dish is a favorite among glamour and sports photographers for its ability to enhance curves, muscles, and texture. The larger 28" diameter model can produce a beam with more 'reach', scattering more focused light to cover larger subjects and areas. The interior of the Glow Beauty Dish is available in two coatings. The silver finish delivers higher output, creating more contrast and bringing out more detail. The pure white interior version minimizes hot spots, smooths skin tone and reveals less texture. The optional Glow honeycomb grid is a powerful addition to any artificial lighting photographer's toolkit.

This accessory gives you more control over the light source's beam, feathering the hard light for an attractive shadow. The varying degrees of the grid can create effects ranging from a broad 40-degree soft pool of light with little spill, to a narrow 20-degree spotlight glow with defined shadow borders. In summary, the Glow 28" White Beauty Dish for Balcar White Lighting & Alien Bees Mount is a versatile, high-quality light modifier that can dramatically enhance your portraiture and fashion photography.
