Glow 17" White Beauty Dish for Norman Allure Mount

With the Glow 17" White Beauty Dish for Norman Allure, you can elevate your photography to new heights. This stylish and modern light modifier is renowned for creating striking portraiture and fashion images, blending the qualities of a direct flash and a softbox to produce a unique, wrap-around effect. The double parabolic reflector system of this sleek beauty dish achieves unique diffusion properties, delivering a dramatic, directed beam with more contrast than a softbox. The elegant white finish enhances contrast and brings out the intricate details of your subject, making it an ideal choice for head and shoulders portraits, dramatic figure studies, or subjects in tight spaces where traditional softboxes and umbrellas fall short.

This high-quality beauty dish features a large 17" diameter, providing a wider range of lighting options and greater control over light direction and intensity. It easily mounts onto most brands of studio flash and monolights via separately purchased speedrings. The design includes a small opaque reflective cover suspended over the light source, preventing direct light from hitting the subject. Instead, light bounces off the small interior disk and floods the larger bowl of the beauty dish, resulting in a softer, wider cast of light than a standard reflector and far superior to the harshness of a speedlight.

The position of the small center reflector cap is adjustable, allowing you to control the spread to the large bowl and accommodate tall or high wattage modeling lights. The beauty dish also comes with a diffusion fabric panel, or "sock, " which softens the ring of focused light, lowers contrast, and softens shadow edges. Photographers often use the Glow 17" White Beauty Dish for flattering people shots, sculpting facial features, creating beautiful shadows and catch lights, and producing a natural window light aura. It's a favorite among glamour and sports photographers for its ability to enhance curves, muscles, and texture.

The optional Glow honeycomb grid offers even more control over 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. Whether you're a professional photographer or an enthusiast, the Glow 17" White Beauty Dish for Norman Allure is a versatile and essential tool for your lighting setup.
