Glow 28" White Beauty Dish for Norman Allure Mount
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...
