Show me your: 1 light (Beauty Dish Setup) with
Almost every beauty image I have done is with a single dish so feel free to take a look. I however process every image I display (or keep for that matter) with at least raw and Lightroom tweaks. Beauty images are always retouched in PS, I do not however create that plastic skin look  Jul 11 13 04:36 pm Link Silver Mola Demi with white grid, straight on, and slightly elevated  White Mola Setti with black grid, straight on and a slightly elevated  White Mola Setti about 60 degees to camera left  White Mola Setti 45 degrees to camera left and somewhat elevated  White Mola Demi no grid 45 degrees to camera left and slightly high - figure work 18+ http://studio-gregor.tumblr.com/image/54701847286 18+ nuance: don't aim the light at the model's face - either use it close and aimed below her face with a reflector for fill or use it high or to the side and pointed straight - feather the light for softness or use the falloff distribution in the light cone for even lighting. Also use the beauty dish pretty close - like all modifiers it becomes "harder" the farther away from the subject..... Jul 11 13 04:56 pm Link Very little post work. One or two blemishes - Orange B/W filter - cropped for boards. Bare silver 22" dish with a YN460II flash - refelctor underneath.  Jul 11 13 05:58 pm Link Current avatar.

I often use a grid on the dish to provide even more directional lighting. In this picture of Mia Foley a single light was located above and to the camera left.  This is another example but with the model turned so that her face was more directly lit with the beauty dish and a grid. An assistant held a silver reflector under the model's face to provide some fill on her neck.  I was watching a video of a Bvlgari commercial featuring Kate Moss where her head was tipped up directly into a hard light. As she brought her face down slowly, her cheek bones exploded into the picture. I was so impressed I started to do some experimenting using the beauty dish on a short boom to get the light directly in front and above the model's face. With the right model (Kate was not available), you can really get some dramatic and beautiful images! (A hint, move the light back and forth in front of the model and you can visually see where you get the best effect.) Again, I was using a grid to make the light more direct.  The model is Yulia Laktionova, who in addition to being a great beauty, is an accomplished photographer! Yulia is featured in the 2016 "Beach Babes" calendar published by Zebra Publishing and available in Barnes and Noble as well as through many online retailers such as Amazon.com. John -- John L.
