Soft Defined Light. With a beauty dish, you get much more defined shadows than you’d see with a softbox. However, at the same time it produces a wide, uniform soft light. While softboxes are definitely the more common modifier when soft light is desired, the beauty dish is perfect for a more defined, three-dimensional soft light.

Center Deflector. This center-mounted disc blocks direct light and redirects it to the large 20.5" reflector, providing a gradual light fall-off. This is what enables the increased shadow definition. Additionally, it also produces the specular highlights (circular highlights that look like donuts) at close distances that are highly desired in beauty and fashion photography.
