Your cart is empty.The perfect accessory for the portrait photographer, the Fotodiox beauty dish uniquely diffuses light to provide high output with moderate feathering. Unlike a soft box or a reflector which has an "illuminating" surface, the beauty dish has a circle of light with an opaque center and an internal light shield that allows bounce-only lighting. How does the beauty dish compare to a soft box? As the beauty dish is smaller, it will result in less-soft shadows. It will also provide moderate round catch lights in the eyes, where a soft box will yield larger rectangular catch lights. Fotodiox beauty dishes use a parabolic reflector in 80° angle to focus light towards a wrapped area. The Fotodiox beauty dish also come with a diffusion 'sock' for further controlling the sharpness of shadows. You can use soft diffuser cover and honeycomb grid to further change the light pattern, creating a wrapped, contrasted look, which adds a very dramatic effect. The optional 50° Honeycomb Grid contains the light to a more tubular pattern, for more of a spot light effect without light spill. (sold separately)

Exactly as described, and the perfect balance between weight and impact resistance. I highly recommend this product.

Great for close ups ( headshots, beauty shots and even 3/4 shots) not so great for wide shots, if you want even lighting. On wide shots it gives you almost a spotlight effect.But it is called a beauty dish for something.
