Silver Interior

The 55cm aluminium silver beauty dish attaches to the mount on the front of your flash and encapsulates the bulb with the light falling onto the highly reflective silver interior making sure that the light is evenly spread for maximum efficiency. As the interior is silver and therefore much more reflective, specular highlights of the subject are more pronounced and detailed, perfect for drawing out and accentuating the facial features of your subject.

Even, Wrap Around Light

The PixaPro 42cm reflector dish reflects the light back onto the interior silver surface on the beauty dish, helping to cover the entire interior evenly with light, and then creating a light that wraps around the subject. This means that the beauty dish is an ideal modifier for portrait photography as it helps to perfectly surround the subject in light.

Contrasting Light for Accentuating Features

Due to the shape of the 42cm aluminium silver beauty dish and the fact that the photography light bounces around the interior, it helps to create a light with more contrast compared to using a softbox. The more contrasting light source helps to accentuate the facial features of the subject. The silver interior of the beauty dish creates a cooler and more contrasting light and look compared to the softer and more natural looking light created by its white counterpart.

Round Catchlight

The round shape of the 42cm aluminium silver beauty dish also helps to create pleasing catchlights in the eyes of the subject that replicates a natural light source such as the sun, making it ideal for beauty and portrait photography.

Shadow Reducing Diffuser Cap

Included with the PixaPro bowens beauty dish is a diffuser cap, which simply slides over the outer edge, and this further helps to further soften the light being produced and to reduce any unwanted shadows on your subject. The extra diffusion will help the light fall more naturally onto your subject, ideal for beauty and portrait shots when you are trying to get the most accurate look from your subject.

Interchangeable Speedring

The PixaPro 42cm aluminium silver beauty dish features a unique and revolutionary design feature which allows this to be used with a wide range of different flashes due to the interchangeable speedring. The compatible speedrings available for the beauty dish includes Bowens, Hensel, Elinchrom, Broncolor, Multiblitz and Profoto. So, if you have a wide range of different brand flashes, you can simply purchase the necessary speedring to connect your softbox to the mount of your flash units, making this a cost effective and high-quality solution to any modifier requirements.

High-Quality Aluminium 

The high-quality aluminium construction of the beauty dish is strong and durable, helping to create a dependable modifier that will keep working well for the foreseeable future, ideal for studio-based photography. It requires no further construction or assembly as it simply attaches directly to the mount of your flash, reducing any unnecessary loss of time during your shoot.

Protective Carry Case
