Profoto - OCF 24" Beauty Dish with Deflector Plate, White

The Glow 28" White Beauty Dish for Norman Allure Mount is a renowned light modifier, celebrated for its ability to produce striking portraiture and fashion images. This high-quality accessory, designed by Glow, a reputable brand in photography equipment, utilizes a double parabolic reflector system to achieve unique diffusion properties. The resulting effect is a blend of a direct flash and a softbox, providing your image with a wrap-around look, similar to a softbox, but with added contrast and a more dramatic directed beam. The white finish of this beauty dish enhances soft output, creates more contrast, and brings out the intricate details of your subject. This 28" beauty dish is compatible with most brands of studio flash and monolights via speedrings, which are sold separately. It is ideal for a variety of shots, from head and shoulders portraits to dramatic full-figure studies, and even for subjects in tight spaces where softboxes and umbrellas may not be effective. The beauty dish design features a small opaque reflective cover suspended directly over the front of the light source, preventing direct light from hitting the subject. The light then bounces backwards off the small interior disk and floods the wall of 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, known as "socks." This translucent diffusion circle, with an elastic edge, fits snugly over the rim of the dish, softening the ring of focused light, lowering the degree of contrast, and softening the edges of shadows. The Glow 28" White Beauty Dish is a versatile tool, used by photographers for flattering people shots, especially for sculpting facial features and creating beautiful shadows and catch lights. It is favored by 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 treat larger subjects and areas. The interior of the Glow Beauty Dish is available in two coatings. The silver finish delivers higher output, creates more contrast and brings out more detail than its white counterpart. The pure white interior version minimizes hot spots, smoothes skin tone and reveals less texture. The optional Glow honeycomb grid is a powerful tool for artificial lighting photographers. By covering the aperture of the reflector with the disk, you gain more control of a light source's beam, and feathers the hard light for an attractive shadow. This strong directionality can be used to add high key depth for fashion images, and emphasize the model's facial structure as well as the eyes, lips, nose, and chin. In conclusion, the Glow 28" White Beauty Dish for Norman Allure Mount is a stylish, modern, sleek, and elegant addition to any photographer's equipment, offering a wide range of lighting options and greater control over the direction and intensity of the light.

GLOW EZ LOCK 42" WHITE BEAUTY DISH is an ingenious portable version of the light modifier famous for striking fashion and portraiture images showcasing the incomparable safe and sure EZ Lock system. No more clumsy construction, fumbling with flex resistant rods or struggling in frustration for careful alignment of speedring holes. The 16 ribbed dish opens up and closes down,'umbrella style.' The ingenious self-catch EZ Lock surrounds a thick center shaft, providing a comfortable place for your fingers to push-lock the mechanism open, and a generous wide button to unlock-release and close the beauty dish painlessly. The quick-to-setup quasi-parabola saucer like assembly has all the advantages of the beauty dish allure without the disadvantages of damage that a metallic dish confronts during location travel and is free of any of the drawbacks of a delicate bendable dish. This folding unit is made for the road, however, with sturdy aluminum support rods for structural stability and extraordinary fabric strength. This 42" White version of the Glow EZ Lock Beauty Dish series serves on subjects from head and shoulders portraits to dramatic figure studies, an optimal tool for mastering all shooting situations where quality counts. It shines in tight spaces where softboxes and umbrellas cannot fit the set comfortably. The unique beauty dish properties are achieved using a double reflector system that softens the flash properties twice. The final effect has qualities that cross between that of a direct flash and a softbox, giving the image a wraparound look - like a softbox, but with more contrast and a more dramatic directed beam. The white interior finish delivers a deliciously soft output, creates subtle distinction and reveals more detail of your subject. Intrinsic to the beauty dish design is a small revisable opaque deflector cover that is suspended concave profile out, directly over the front of the light source, preventing direct light from hitting the subject. The light then bounces back off the inner curved deflector plate and floods the wall of the outer bowl of the beauty dish, resulting in a broad spread of softer indirect light. The effect is gentler than obtainable from a standard reflector and markedly less harsh than of a speedlight. By flipping the deflector plate and using it convex side out, you can realize differing levels of light distribution. Photographers use 25" to 42" beauty dish on monolights and flash heads for flattering people shots, especially for sculpting facial features and creating beautiful shadows and catchlights. Glamour and sports photographers, which typically use a crisp type of lighting to enhance curves, muscles, and texture, use all sizes of the Glow EZ Lock Beauty Dish. This bigger 42" diameter model can produce a beam with more 'reach,' overall scattering more focused light to treat larger subjects and areas as well, but you will realize the most striking results when the dish is in proximity to the subject. When stacked in a vertical tower array of 2 or more, the beauty dish accentuates a model's full figure with perfect head to toe coverage. With the Glow EZ Lock Beauty Dish Eggcrate Grid, you have a powerful tool in your arsenal of master lighting. By covering the aperture of the reflector with the egg-crate grid, you gain more control of a light source's beam, and feathers hard light for a more attractive shadow, virtually eliminating spill from the rest of the body and the background. This strong directionality can be used to add high-key depth for fashion images and emphasize the model facial structure as well as the eyes, lips, nose, and chin.
