Should I buy a beauty dish?

But we would always recommend having a Beauty Dish as part of your equipment as they are very useful and can offer a different effect and lighting that you can’t get from other modifiers.

Which is better white or silver beauty dish?

Silver coated beauty dishes offer more specular, hard-contrast light while white coated dishes result in somewhat smoother, softer light. However, both coatings offer even, flattering light that is ideal for highlighting the shape of a model’s face.

How do you use OCF?

With OCF, you place a light on a stand somewhere in front of your subject. Your hair light separates your subject from the background. This is what natural-light photographers create when they put the sun behind their subject.

Does beauty dish size matter?

The bigger the light source is in relation to your subject, the less bright your subject’s eyes are going to be. If you want bright, clear eyes, a smaller beauty dish may be the way to go. It is also harder to control the light fall off (without a grid) as the bigger source will cast more light behind your subject.

Which size beauty dish is best?

As a general rule of thumb, smaller modifiers will produce a harsher light, and larger modifiers will produce a softer light. If you’re going to be shooting mainly tight head shots, then you may be able to get away with a 42cm beauty dish, however the 55cm and the 70cm will give you more coverage.
