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.

Glow 22" White Beauty Dish for Bowens Mount

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.

Of the many choices for lighting portraits, the Beauty Dish offers a dramatic light that wraps around your subject's face, providing a classic look to your portrait photography.

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.
Bring studio-quality lighting to your photography sessions with the Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish, specifically designed for use with Norman Monolight mounts. This professional-grade light modifier is renowned for producing captivating portraiture and high-fashion imagery, thanks to its sophisticated double parabolic reflector system. The system expertly blends the directness of a flash with the softness of a softbox, yielding a wraparound lighting effect that boasts enhanced contrast and a more pronounced, directional beam.
Crafted with a shiny, silver interior, this beauty dish amplifies output, intensifies contrast, and reveals intricate details of your subject, making it an indispensable tool for photographers aiming to elevate their work. The 22-inch diameter is optimal for head and shoulder portraits, as well as dramatic half-figure studies, especially in confined spaces where larger softboxes and umbrellas are impractical.
The design features a centrally positioned, adjustable opaque reflector cap that prevents direct light from striking the subject. Instead, light is redirected backward, filling the dish and casting a broad, softer light than standard reflectors, and significantly gentler than the harshness of a speedlight. This results in a flattering illumination that is perfect for sculpting facial features and creating beautiful shadows and catchlights.
Accompanying the beauty dish is a diffusion fabric, commonly referred to as a "sock," which fits snugly over the rim. This translucent panel softens the focused light ring, reducing contrast and softening shadow edges while expanding the light's spread, with only a minimal loss of light intensity. The outcome is a stunning catchlight effect reminiscent of natural window light.
Photographers ranging from glamour to sports professionals prefer the Glow Beauty Dish for its ability to accentuate contours, muscles, and textures. While the 22" dish is ideal for individual subjects, the larger 28" model offers a wider beam for larger subjects and spaces. When stacked in a vertical array, the beauty dish can accentuate a model's full figure with striking effect.
The interior of the Glow Beauty Dish is available in two finishes: the high-output silver for heightened contrast and detail, and a pure white for minimizing hot spots and smoothing skin tones. Both options add depth and texture to the visual experience, enhancing the tactile sensation conveyed in your images.
For photographers seeking precise light control, the optional Glow honeycomb grid is an essential accessory. This grid modifies the light beam, feathering the hard light for attractive shadows. Available in varying degrees, from a broad 40-degree soft pool to a narrow 20-degree spotlight effect, the grid allows for meticulous shaping of light and shadow, perfect for emphasizing facial features and adding depth to fashion shots.
In summary, the Glow 22" Silver Beauty Dish is a versatile and high-quality lighting solution that offers photographers the ability to create professional, studio-grade lighting effects with ease. Whether you're capturing the subtle nuances of a portrait or the dynamic intensity of a fashion shoot, this beauty dish is an invaluable addition to your lighting arsenal.
