3 Beauty Dish Accessories | Inside Fashion and Beauty Photography with Lindsay Adler

- A beauty dish is a staple of many studio photographers’ lighting kits. This popular modifier creates a soft and flattering quality of light but with a bit more ‘pop’ and contrast than you get with a softbox. This versatile light modifier can transform with the 3 accessories covered in this video. A beauty dish can become more concentrated, specular, or even softer- it's about knowing the right accessories to use!
My Favorite Beauty Dish Accessories:
(1) Sock (aka Diffuser): Creates a softer quality of light and less specularity to the image. This is great for a bit more flattering light on the skin with rough textures or excess shine. The material for a sock is similar to the type of material in the front of a softbox that is intended to soften, smooth, and spread light.
If you don’t have a sock, try a diffusion filter to soften the light. It will have a similar effect and it attaches simply with gaffers tape.
*Note: Profoto offers a single diffuser for their beauty dish, though other brands have diffusion that is thicker/thinner to allow you to control the specularity of the light.
(2) Grid: A 25-degree grid helps you add contrast and drama to your light. In particular, it allows you to control the spread of light. Adding a grid reduces the area of coverage of the light, and makes the light fall off faster (making the background darker). This is a great way to layer your light by separately controlling the illumination on the subject and background.
(3) Frosted Plate: Typically a beauty dish will have a solid white reflective plate. Here we are switching out to a frosted glass plate. This takes your beauty dish and gives it a bit more punch. You’ll have more contrast and specularity.
With a white beauty dish, you will notice more specularity. With a silver beauty dish, you’ll notice a bit smoother gradient in the quality of light.
What is great about these accessories is that you can take a tool you already own (a beauty dish) and make it more versatile with some simple and (relatively) inexpensive modifications.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Very helpful and informative tutorial! I love the way Lindsay explains the technical matters! Learnt a lot! Thank you so much Lindsay and all the great people at Adorama! God bless you all!
That last set of B&W images are so nicely done 👍
I really love the black and white photos at the end. Really stands out.
Hope to see Lindsay on this channel by summer or fall. Great teacher.
This be great for cosmetic or Jewelry Add. Maybe also some clothing. Great work by her team and Lindsay.
I really learned a lot from this class. Hope to see more content this month or next. Kudos to the photographer, team, and Adorama for great content.
My pleasure!
6:17 The with-grid shot is fantastic even before adding additional lights. 👍
great beauty dish centric very useful for fashion photography. very informative video.
Sweet!! Good refresher course. Thanks.
Recommend the lighting course - it's amazing :)
An excellent insightful video! thank you!!
Thank you, Lindsay. I've got a beauty dish collecting dust because setting up a softbox became more convenient. Time to revisit it!
I want to revist mine as well but a grid for it is 100 bucks ridiculous for a peace of plastic.
Thank you...i've learned a lot from this video.....
Eres una genia Lindsay y me encanta tu trabajo. Tengo uno plateado con grid y calcetín, ahora me fabricaré una placa con acrílico blanco translúcido porque es mi modificador favorito. Gracias, te saludo desde Argentina
¡Muchas gracias por las palabras amables! :)
Oh wow, love the light in general created by the beauty dish! Good that you showed us the accessories that are available, thank you Lindsay Adler for all the knowledge you share as well as for ADORAMA for having great videos on their channel!
That is awesome
Have you tried the perforated silver in conjunction with the frosted pretty cool
no ! link me to it please!
I just got the Mola Sollo and I desperately need a grid for it!
I love your videos
Hiii integrating frosted plate on white BD is something super ... grid gives more directional lighting i think will have to change exposure to enhance pastel color details further..... and any chance of making rfi vs ocf vs white bd / vs umbrella deep white ... and thanks
One thing is once you had added defused sock to beauty dish law of physic of light alters way the beauty dish works!
Most beauty dishes don't have the ability to use a frosted plate like this.
correct. this one is profoto. I know that bron and mola do though!
What size of beauty dish is that?
How come there’s no mention of the size of the beauty dish and the distance from the model? That information makes a huge difference on quality of light.
She has mentioned it on other videos.
I have many other videos on that. MANY. I even have one specifically dedicated to white vs silver: th-cam.com/video/JuSka6H5x1E/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/SXho3aZxwzc/w-d-xo.html
What's good Beauty dish for beginner
A cheap Godox would be great!
@Joshua Hamilton Okay thanks take a look
beauty dish with sock?why not just using the softbox
If you dont have a beauty dish, go for it. But I can put up a beauty dish and quickly change distance, sock/no sock, grid/no grid, grid + sock and get a lot of other results, quickly!
Well once you put sock on beauty dish then it’s becomes small round soft box 👍🏻
