Helping me develop a new appreciation for hard light.

I'm usually a big fan of the GLOW line of products; however, the way the adaptor just slides into 3 slots on the back with only one screw (which was missing from both shipments and each piece was shipped seperatly) I am unable to use until I can try and find a screw that fits to hold the adaptor in. Have a feeling that even at that point it isn't going to be a tight fit and will most likely rattle. The metal is good as is the over all shape. The inner disk is only held up by tention rods and there is wobble there, could possibly pop out if bummped or if using outdoors and moving around quickly. It would be very difficault to locate one of the rods if they were to fall out while using on location.

Awesome. I wish I had purchased this a long time ago. Nice soft light but with more definition than a softbox. I almost use it exclusively with the soft cover, and in my product photography work I see much more texture and detail in the products. Very, very nice. Great quality too.

This beauty dish does the job. It's easy to install and works perfectly.

Soft even light. Can add a grid to control the spill of the light. Can also add a diffuser to the front to make the light even softer. I also used the Glow Arch strip softbox to fill in the shadows underneath.

Love it. Works well, A+. Thankfully they included the Elinchrom 'converter' and the sock.

Like the sturdiness as compared to a soft box bc of wind situation . The white plate that covers strobe has very unsteady rods that won't tighten and plate keep falling off . I had to use der clips to hold it on but that looks tacky when I remove the white cover if I need a tad more light and the clips also pop off often. A little annoying .

Beautiful light quality. It also is much more stable in winds than a soft box. It is my main modifier both outdoors and in the studio. I recommend the white interior for most portraits.

I've used several soft boxes and other modifiers but the Beauty Dish is by far my favorite.

Works absolutely fine. Good specular highlights. If I had to buy again I would get a foldable umbrella style. Annoying to pack and carry on a shoot

Dish works great, but it's bent and looks like if I wanted to get a grid it won't work. The boxes were in good condition so the dish shipped out like that. It's a little disheartening but it doesn't take away from its function.

Great quality as any other EZ Glow product. Awesome results.

Modifier is amazing! Just be mindful when ordering that the Bowen?s mount adapter ships separately and not together. My adapter delivered one week after the beauty dish itself. Seems like a logistics improvement needed.

OK. Was a little mis-shapen and had to bend it back to round. Also, one of the screws that held the center reflector was stripped so I had to go get all new screws. Works fine but cheaply made.

Nice, contrasty light. Even softer with the included sock. I'm happy I bought a grid also so I have more light control options.

Works as a beauty dish should and the price is right. Rods in the center reflector needed tightening and the sock tore at the elastic, Easy fixes. I do prefer the Visatec Softlight beauty dish as it is much more flexible. The light output also seems better. Could be more about the Visatec moonlight bulb that the modifier though.

Great beauty dish to replace my Paul C buff. I use this with my new FJ400 Westcott lights and it is perfect!

Never used one of these before and never really cared for doing portrait work. I picked up one because I was intrigued by the reviews. Man did this make a portrait photog out of me when what I shoot is 99% product.

This little mount changed everything! I run a studio and I want to be able to provide high quality modifiers to my clients without passing on tremendous cost to them as well. Being able to use the amazing Glow Beauty dish with my profoto strobes made my setup not only high quality but affordable.

Nice effects
By gina m.
Nice, contrasty light. Even softer with the included sock. I'm happy I bought a grid also so I have more light control options.
How can you elevate your photography to capture stunning portraits and fashion shots with a dramatic flair The Glow 17" Silver Beauty Dish for Bowens Mount is the quintessential light modifier designed to achieve just that. Renowned for its ability to produce captivating images, this beauty dish harnesses a double parabolic reflector system to diffuse light in a unique way, blending the directness of a flash with the softness of a softbox. The result is a striking wraparound lighting effect that combines soft illumination with heightened contrast for more pronounced, detailed shots.
Crafted with a shiny, silver finish, this beauty dish amplifies light output, intensifies contrast, and accentuates the fine details of your subject, making it an indispensable tool for photographers who demand high-quality results. Its rounded, 17-inch diameter offers a broad lighting scope, granting you greater control over light direction and intensity, which is particularly beneficial for headshots, shoulder portraits, and scenarios where space constraints make larger softboxes and umbrellas impractical.
The Glow 17" Silver Beauty Dish features a cleverly designed opaque reflector cap positioned at its heart, which prevents direct light from striking your subject. Instead, light is redirected backward onto the small interior disk before flooding the larger bowl of the beauty dish. This process yields a wide expanse of softer light, superior to what you'd get from a standard reflector and far more flattering than the harsh output of a speedlight.
Adjustability is key with this beauty dish. The central reflector cap can be fine-tuned to control the light spread, accommodating various modeling light sizes and wattages. Moreover, it comes with a diffusion fabric panel, affectionately known as "socks," which fits snugly over the dish's rim. This translucent diffusion material softens the focused light ring, reducing contrast and gently softening shadow edges, all while expanding the light spread and creating enchanting catch lights and a natural window light aura.
Photographers ranging from those specializing in glamour to sports photography have found the Glow 17" Silver Beauty Dish to be an invaluable asset. Its versatility allows for the sculpting of facial features, the creation of beautiful shadows and catch lights, and the enhancement of curves, muscles, and textures. While the 17" dish is perfect for individual subjects, the larger 28" model offers a wider beam for larger subjects and spaces.
The interior coating of the Glow Beauty Dish is available in two options: the high-contrast, detail-enhancing silver finish, and the softer, hot spot-minimizing pure white finish. Each choice adds a different dimension and tactile quality to the visual experience, allowing photographers to tailor their lighting to the desired effect.
For those seeking even more control over their lighting, the optional Glow honeycomb grid is a game-changer. This accessory narrows the light beam, softens hard light, and allows for precise shaping of shadows, ranging from a broad 40-degree soft pool to a narrow 20-degree spotlight effect. The 30-degree grid offers a balance between the two, providing versatility without sacrificing light control.
In summary, the Glow 17" Silver Beauty Dish for Bowens Mount is a robust, high-quality light modifier that offers photographers the ability to produce striking, beautifully lit images with ease. Its durable construction, adjustable features, and versatile accessories make it a top choice for professionals seeking to enhance their lighting arsenal.
