Left Stranded

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.

Just buy it

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.

Gorgeous soft light.

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.

Would definitely recommend!

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

Could be better

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 portrait lighting, very reasonable price

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.

Works fine

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

Works great, but beware of being bent when you receive it

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.

Bowen?s adapter shipped separately!

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.

Just OK.

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.

Price is right

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.

As a commercial product photog I love how easy this made portraits.

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.

Best tiny too for affordable modifiers

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.

Bowen?s adapter shipped separately!

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.

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.

The Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish for Norman Allure stands out as an essential light modifier for photographers specializing in portraiture and fashion photography. This premium-quality accessory is engineered with a double parabolic reflector system, which is the secret behind its unique diffusion properties. The resulting illumination combines the directness of a flash with the softness of a softbox, enveloping the subject in a wraparound light that boasts heightened contrast and a more pronounced, directional beam.

Crafted with a reflective silver interior, this beauty dish amplifies light output, intensifies contrast, and unveils intricate details of the subject, making it an indispensable tool for creating compelling images. Its 22-inch diameter is optimally sized for head and shoulder portraits, as well as dramatic half-figure shots, particularly in confined spaces where larger softboxes and umbrellas are impractical.

The design features a centrally positioned, opaque reflector cap that prevents direct light from striking the subject. Instead, light is redirected backward onto the small disk and then outward into the larger bowl of the beauty dish. This process yields a broader, softer light than that produced by standard reflectors, and significantly more refined than the harshness of a speedlight.

Adjustability is key with the Glow Beauty Dish; the position of the center reflector cap can be fine-tuned to manage the light spread and accommodate various modeling light sizes or wattages. An essential accessory included with the beauty dish is the diffusion "sock," a translucent fabric panel with an elastic edge that fits snugly over the dish's rim. This diffuser softens the focused ring of light, reducing contrast and softening shadow edges, while expanding the light spread with a minimal loss of about 1 stop. It also contributes to creating beautiful catch lights and a natural window light effect.

Photographers favor the 17" to 22" beauty dishes for their ability to flatter subjects, sculpt facial features, and produce exquisite shadows and catch lights. The Glow Beauty Dish is also a favorite among glamour and sports photographers for its ability to deliver crisp lighting that accentuates curves, muscles, and textures.

For those seeking a broader light reach, the larger 28" model scatters a more focused beam, suitable for larger subjects and areas. When stacked in a vertical array, the beauty dish can highlight a model's full figure, adding a dramatic effect.

The Glow Beauty Dish is available with two interior finishes: the high-contrast, detail-enhancing silver finish, and the white interior that softens skin tones and minimizes texture. Both options add depth and a tactile quality to images, enhancing the visual experience.

For photographers looking to further control their lighting, the optional Glow honeycomb grid is a versatile addition. This grid narrows the light beam, feathering the hard light for attractive shadows with varying degrees of control - from a broad 40-degree soft pool of light to a narrow 20-degree spotlight effect. The 30-degree grid offers a balance between the two, allowing for both broad and focused lighting effects.

In summary, the Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish for Norman Allure is a dynamic and adaptable lighting tool that brings a professional edge to portrait and fashion photography, enabling artists to craft light with precision and creativity.
