Glow 22" White Beauty Dish for Balcar White Lighting & Alien Bees Mount

How can you elevate your photography to the next level The Glow 22" White Beauty Dish for Balcar White Lighting & Alien Bees Mount is your answer. This high-quality, durable light modifier is renowned for creating striking portraiture and fashion images. Its unique diffusion properties are achieved through a double parabolic reflector system, blending the qualities of a direct flash and a softbox. This versatile beauty dish delivers a wrap-around look similar to a softbox but with more contrast and a more dramatic directed beam. The white finish enhances contrast and brings out more detail in your subject, making it an efficient tool for photographers aiming to capture the nuances of their subjects. Designed to mount onto most brands of studio flash and monolights, this beauty dish requires speed rings for attachment, which are sold separately. The 22" White version is ideal for head and shoulders portraits, dramatic half-figure studies, or subjects in tight spaces where softboxes and umbrellas can't fit. The beauty dish design features a small opaque reflective cover suspended directly over the light source, preventing direct light from hitting the subject. The light bounces backwards off the small interior disk and floods the larger bowl of the beauty dish, resulting in a wide cast of softer 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. Included with the beauty dish is a diffusion fabric panel, or "sock," which softens the ring of focused light, lowers contrast, and softens shadow edges. Photographers often use the 17" to 22" beauty dish on monolights, flash heads, and speedlights for flattering people shots, especially for sculpting facial features and creating beautiful shadows and catch lights. The optional Glow honeycomb grid is a powerful tool for controlling a light source's beam and feathering hard light for an attractive shadow. Whether you're a glamour or sports photographer looking to enhance curves, muscles, and texture, or a portrait photographer seeking to smooth skin tones and reveal less texture, the Glow 22" White Beauty Dish for Balcar White Lighting & Alien Bees Mount is a reliable and versatile tool for your photography needs.
