A favorite of fashion and portrait shooters, the Silver 42cm Beauty Dish Reflector from Godox bounces the light off a centrally positioned deflector and is directed to fill the silver reflector interior.

The result is a signature soft look but with an edge of crispness (ideal for hair and makeup), that you can’t get from umbrellas and softboxes. Silver interior adds a little contrast and punch and increases the light’s throw range. An added bonus is the natural-looking catchlights that appear in the subject’s eyes.
