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.
While the Glow 28" Silver Beauty Dish for Norman Allure Mount is a quintessential tool for professional photographers aiming to capture stunning portraiture and high-fashion imagery, its versatility extends far beyond. This premium light modifier harnesses the power of a double parabolic reflector system to create a unique diffusion effect that blends the directness of a flash with the softness of a softbox. The result is a captivating wrap-around lighting quality, offering more contrast and a dramatic, directed beam that accentuates the subject's features.
Crafted with a shiny, silver finish, this beauty dish amplifies output, intensifies contrast, and unveils intricate details, making it an ideal choice for photographers who demand high-quality, durable equipment. Its rounded design is engineered to produce a wide cast of softer light, superior to standard reflectors and far more refined than the harshness of a speedlight.
The beauty dish's innovative design includes a small, opaque reflective cover positioned above the light source, which prevents direct light from striking the subject. Instead, light is redirected backwards, flooding the interior of the dish and emanating a broad, diffused glow. This feature is adjustable, allowing photographers to tailor the spread of light to their specific needs, whether accommodating tall or high wattage modeling lights.
Included with the beauty dish is a diffusion fabric panel, affectionately known as "socks," which softens the focused light ring and reduces contrast for gentler shadow edges and an increased spread of light. This addition results in a subtle loss of about 1 stop of light but compensates with enchanting catch lights and a natural window light effect.
The 28" Silver Beauty Dish is particularly effective for head and shoulder portraits, full-figure studies, or in tight spaces where larger modifiers like softboxes and umbrellas are impractical. Its larger diameter allows for a beam with greater 'reach', scattering focused light to treat larger subjects and areas with precision.
Photographers specializing in glamour and sports, who prefer crisp lighting to highlight curves, muscles, and textures, find the Glow Beauty Dish indispensable. When used in a vertical array, it can dramatically accentuate a model's full figure, adding depth and dimension to the image.
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 tactile sensation and visual depth to your photography.
For those seeking even more control over their lighting, the optional Glow honeycomb grid is a powerful addition. This tool allows for precise control over the light beam, feathering hard light for attractive shadows. Available in varying degrees, from a broad 40-degree soft pool of light to a narrow 20-degree spotlight glow, the grid helps eliminate spill and emphasize key features such as facial structure and texture.
In summary, the Glow 28" Silver Beauty Dish for Norman Allure Mount is a professional-grade, high-performance lighting accessory that offers photographers the ability to sculpt light with precision, enhancing their creative vision and elevating their photographic work.
