I am using the older gridding that used to come on overhead fluorescent lights. You can also see if you can pick something up on ebay that is made for other strobes and modify it to fit.

Paint it flat black with Krylon's spray paint for plastic. It'll be square, but that won't matter. To attach it, use velcro. Wrap velcro "cord straps" (electrical dept), around the grid so you have 4 dangling velcro ends, then use 4 velcro self adhesive strips on the dish to fasten the cord wraps to. It works great!

The reason for the "lines" and color shifts is that it is for a makeup artist portfolio. Sep 17 09 11:30 pm Link I can do this FOREVER!!!

Idk much about these lovely dishes but these examples are looking great and I'm considering trying my hand at one... What are the benefits/disadvantages to these little dishes? xo ~S Sep 19 09 09:35 am Link Shannon Grant wrote: Good skin would go for any modifier with a strobe. It really pops out the "imperfections". I find the Beauty dish way better than an Umbrella/Reflector at the skin.

Sep 19 09 10:01 am Link I used the beauty dish for the butterfly lighting effect. Dish 2 feet from model, centered and angled down somewhat i think. Gives the shadow under the nose and chin areas if done right. Always a learning process.  Sep 19 09 10:05 am Link Not sure if this counts, but this was one beauty dish, with sun behind her. It's the first time I've used it.  Sep 19 09 11:07 am Link Jay Kilgore wrote: I find beauty dishes to be one of the most versatile modifiers in my collection...
