Traditional Beauty Dish Look?
In another thread, someone was concerned about getting a "traditional beauty dish look". There was talk about power requirements and light positioning. More than one person suggested the dish is typically used very close to the subject, maybe about 1-2 feet away. Could some people please post links to photos that have the "traditional beauty dish look", preferably with the dish used about 1-2 foot away? I think I know the look that people are referring to, but I'm not sure. thanks, Glen Nov 18 08 06:41 am Link In before Eastwood.....        In all cases the BD was less than 2 feet from the model's nose. Ciao Stefano Nov 18 08 06:47 am Link Stefano Brunesci Beauty wrote: How far are you away from the model? I would assume if you were far away using a zoom lens, you would get some flare.

The 2nd shot is older and was with a 100 f/2.0 so probably about 5-6 feet, and the closeup eye shot was with a macro zoom at about 5 feet IIRC.

However, they do also make nice key lights for fashion as they are crisper than a s/b without as much danger of hotspots as a bare bulb. Nov 18 08 08:27 am Link |
