From the esteemed Glow brand comes the 17" White Beauty Dish, an essential light modifier designed for the discerning photographer who demands both quality and versatility in their portraiture and fashion work. This robust and rounded beauty dish is renowned for its ability to produce captivating images with a unique blend of softness and dramatic contrast.Crafted with a double parabolic reflector system, the Glow 17" White Beauty Dish expertly manipulates light to achieve a delicate balance that resembles the wraparound effect of a softbox, yet maintains the directional control and heightened contrast akin to a direct flash. The result is an exquisite illumination that sculpts facial features, enhances textures, and creates stunning catchlights, all while revealing the intricate details of your subject.The white interior of the dish ensures a softer output compared to its silver counterpart, effectively minimizing hot spots and smoothing skin tones for a flattering, natural-looking effect. The design features a small, opaque reflective cover suspended above the light source, which prevents direct light from striking the subject. Instead, light is redirected backward, filling the large bowl of the beauty dish and casting a broad, gentle light that surpasses the capabilities of standard reflectors and avoids the harshness of a speedlight.Adjustability is key with the Glow 17" White Beauty Dish. The position of the central reflector cap can be fine-tuned to control the spread of light, accommodating various modeling light sizes and wattages. Additionally, the beauty dish is compatible with a range of studio flashes and monolights, attaching via speedrings (sold separately) for a seamless integration into your existing lighting setup.Included with the beauty dish is a diffusion fabric, affectionately known as "socks," which fits snugly over the rim to further soften the focused ring of light. This not only reduces contrast but also extends the spread of light, creating an ambient effect reminiscent of natural window light, with only a minimal loss of light intensity.Ideal for head and shoulder portraits, dramatic figure studies, or scenarios where space constraints limit the use of softboxes and umbrellas, the Glow 17" White Beauty Dish is a versatile tool that adds depth and emotion to your images. For photographers who specialize in glamour and sports, where crisp lighting is paramount, this beauty dish excels in sculpting and defining.For those seeking even greater control over their lighting, the optional Glow honeycomb grid is a formidable addition. This accessory narrows the light beam, allowing for precise feathering of hard light and the creation of attractive shadows. With varying degrees available, photographers can tailor the light's directionality to emphasize key features and add depth to fashion images.In summary, the Glow 17" White Beauty Dish is a high-quality, durable, and versatile lighting solution that provides photographers with unparalleled control over light shaping. Its thoughtful design and superior construction make it a standout choice for professionals looking to elevate their photographic artistry.

Helping me develop a new appreciation for hard light.

Beautiful 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.

Left Stranded

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.

Just buy it

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

Does the job

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.

Gorgeous soft light.

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

Would definitely recommend!

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 .

Could be better

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.

Beautiful portrait lighting, very reasonable price

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

Definitely recommend the Beauty Dish

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 fine

Making models look good is easy with this beauty dish. Highly recommend!

Become internet famous

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.

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

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

Great decision

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.

Bowen?s adapter shipped separately!

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.

Just OK.

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

Nice effects

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.

Price is right

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

Great beauty dish!

This is a lovely beauty dish that gives great highlights to the subject. This is an excellent product.

Excellent Product

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.

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

I use it with my Alien Bee 800. No complaints here.

Works great

Glow 22" White Beauty Dish ...a light modifier for indoor and outdoor portraiture that is portable strong and reliable plus give me amazing light control for my portraits  ... i am very happy with this product that helps me create amazing portraits without breaking the bank

Glow 22" White beauty dish for Flashpoint Mount

Nice and easy to setup. Bought it to use on single subjects on windy days and studio work.

Ease of use.

Fanatic

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.

Best tiny too for affordable modifiers

Great Product

Its good for the light it produces..but the flimsy rods the center piece attaches to are horrible..and easily dont hold position..

except for on thing..

Great beauty dish at a great price!!    I use it a lot with or without the sock and grid set for excellent light

Beautiful Beauty Dish!

Does what it’s supposed to! Solid build and no issues
