Be at the forefront of professional photography with the Glow 17" Silver Beauty Dish, specifically designed for the Broncolor Vistac mount. This high-quality light modifier is renowned for producing captivating portraiture and fashion photographs, thanks to its unique double parabolic reflector system. The system ingeniously blends the characteristics of direct flash with the softness of a softbox, delivering images with a distinctive wrap-around look, enhanced contrast, and a more dramatic, directed beam of light.Crafted with a shiny silver finish, this beauty dish amplifies light output, accentuates subject details, and heightens contrast, making it an indispensable tool for photographers aiming to bring out the intricate textures and features of their subjects. The rounded design ensures a wide spread of softer light, superior to standard reflectors and far less harsh than a speedlight, ideal for creating those sought-after soft shadows and detailed catchlights.The 17" Silver Beauty Dish is optimally sized for head and shoulder portraits, as well as dramatic figure studies, particularly in confined spaces where larger softboxes and umbrellas are impractical. Its central feature, a small opaque reflective cover, is strategically placed over the light source to prevent direct light from striking the subject. Instead, light is redirected backwards, flooding the dish's larger bowl and producing a beautifully diffused illumination.Adjustability is key with this professional beauty dish; the position of the central reflector cap can be fine-tuned to control the spread of light, accommodating tall or high wattage modeling lights. The included diffusion "sock" further softens the focused light ring, reducing contrast and softening shadow edges for a natural window light effect, with only about 1 stop of light loss.Photographers specializing in glamour and sports, who require crisp lighting to emphasize curves, muscles, and textures, will find the Glow Beauty Dish's versatility unmatched. While the 17" dish is perfect for flattering close-ups, the larger 28" model offers a broader beam for illuminating bigger subjects and areas. When stacked in a vertical array, the beauty dish can even accentuate a model's full figure.The interior of the Glow Beauty Dish is available in two finishes: the silver for higher output and contrast, and the pure white for minimizing hot spots and smoothing skin tones. Both options add a palpable dimension and texture to visual storytelling.For those seeking precise control over their lighting, the optional Glow honeycomb grid is an essential accessory. This grid allows photographers to tailor the light beam's spread, from a broad 40-degree soft pool to a narrow 20-degree spotlight, creating dramatic high-key effects and emphasizing facial features with minimal spill.In summary, the Glow 17" Silver Beauty Dish for Broncolor Vistac mount is a versatile, high-quality lighting accessory that offers photographers the flexibility to create stunning, professional-grade images with exquisite lighting effects.
