Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish for Profoto Mount #GLBD22SPF

It's the Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish for Profoto Mount, an essential tool for professional photographers seeking to capture striking portraiture and fashion images. This high-quality light modifier is renowned for its unique diffusion properties, achieved through a double parabolic reflector system. The resulting effect is a blend of a direct flash and a softbox, producing a wrap-around look that combines the softness of a softbox with the contrast and dramatic directed beam of a flash. The silver finish of this rounded beauty dish enhances output, creating more contrast and bringing out the intricate details of your subject.

This dish is compatible with most brands of studio flash and monolights, mounting via speedrings that are sold separately. With its 22" diameter, it's ideal for head and shoulders portraits, dramatic half-figure studies, and subjects in tight spaces where softboxes and umbrellas may not be effective. The design of the Glow Silver Beauty Dish includes a small opaque reflective cover suspended directly over the light source, preventing direct light from hitting the subject. The light bounces off the small interior disk and floods the larger bowl of the beauty dish, resulting in a softer light cast than a standard reflector and far less harsh than a speedlight.

The position of the small center reflector cap is adjustable, allowing control over the spread to the large bowl and accommodating tall or high wattage modeling lights. The beauty dish 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. The Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish is versatile and used by photographers for flattering people shots, sculpting facial features, creating beautiful shadows and catch lights. It's a favorite among glamour and sports photographers for its ability to enhance curves, muscles, and texture.

The interior of the Glow Beauty Dish comes in two coatings, silver and white, each offering different lighting effects to add more dimension and tactile sensation to the visual experience. An optional Glow honeycomb grid can be added to gain more control of the light source's beam, feathering the hard light for an attractive shadow. This strong directionality can be used to add high key depth for fashion images, and emphasize facial structures, eyes, lips, nose, and chin. The Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish for Profoto Mount is a shiny, professional, and high-quality tool that offers a wide range of lighting options for photographers.
