Its unique design prevents light from hitting the model directly. A centrally placed parabolic reflector directs the light into the large light bowl, which then reflects the light in the desired direction. This creates a unique characteristic when photographing. In the center, the light is emitted more harshly, while towards the edges, the quality of the light becomes progressively softer. This guarantees a high-contrast spot and a smoothly falling, soft gradient towards the outside. Professional photographers often utilize the properties of the beauty dish to illuminate portrait shots with just one lamp while still achieving optimal results. To fully exploit the unique characteristics of the reflector, the beauty dish should be positioned close to the model. The included diffuser can be easily placed over the reflector, ensuring that the light is emitted even softer and that the brightness gradient transitions smoothly. An optional large honeycomb attachment can be clipped into the reflector, reducing stray light and directing the light output. With the reflector, honeycomb attachment, and diffuser, you have an optimal set for creative flexibility in your professional beauty shots.
