42cm (16.5") studio silver beauty dish with s-type smart bracket
The Beauty Dish is a very popular choice for Fashion and beauty photographers, and is also becoming a popular choice for portrait photographers. The beauty dish produces a soft light, with a little more contrast compared to the light from a softbox, which is great for accentuating facial features, and pulling out more details in your image. Beauty Dishes also produce pleasing perfectly round catch lights in the eyes of your subjects.
Beauty dishes produce their unique light qualities by bouncing the light from the back of the deflector dish (located in front of the flash-tube) into a parabolic reflector, which then sends the light forward, producing a contrasty yet soft wrapping light.
This Beauty Dish has a Silver interior, which produces a cooler, slightly more contrasty look, compared to that of its white counterpart. Since the interior surface is reflective compared to that of a white beauty dish, specular highlights are more pronounced.
The Beauty Dish comes supplied with a shower-cap styled diffuser, and a removable honeycomb grid, which will reduce the spread of light and give you more control the direction of light.
This beauty dish also comes with an S-Type Speedlite Bracket, which features a hot shoe mount to enable you to use your Beauty dish in conjunction with your speedlite. The Speedlite bracket can be used with almost any Bowens S type fitting modifiers including softboxes, snoots and reflectors etc.
The Pixapro 42cm Silver beauty dish in conjunction with the Speedlite L bracket is the perfect solution for the photographer that often shoots on location and wants a look different to that of a softbox or an umbrella.
