Profoto Beauty Dishes
For a creamy yet crisp beauty light

Bring out the beauty with Beauty Dishes

The clue is in the name – beauty dish. That’ s because the unique light it creates is perfectly suited to bring out the beauty of the subject. Creamy, yet crisp light that feels completely natural makes these light shaping tools ideal for people photography. Whether it’ s fashion or portraiture the results are second to none.

Profoto Beauty Dishes come in two models. The traditional Softlight Reflectors are made of metal and are mostly used in studio, whereas the OCF Beauty Dishes are lightweight, made with fabric and are collapsible which makes them super-portable and therefore ideal for location use.

  • Softlight Reflector
    The studio classic

    Often referred to as the “beauty dish,” the reason is simple: it offers the perfect combination of even light, crisp definition and contrast. The resulting effect is a pristine, natural look with slightly accentuated shadows that’ s ideal for portraits and fashion photography. The white version delivers a softer and slightly more even light than its silver counterpart that brings more punch and contrast. You can use both with all Profoto lights.

  • OCF Beauty Dish
    The portable for on location

    The OCF Beauty Dish is collapsible, portable and dedicated to our off-camera flashes. It creates a creamy yet crisp light, often referred to as a “beauty light” that brings out the very best in the subject. Since it’ s specifically designed for on-location photography, the OCF Beauty Dish is compact, lightweight and easy to fold and unfold. High-quality fabrics and patent-pending design allows you to snap it onto the speedring without having to fumble with the rods.

Which model is right for me?

The Softlight Reflectors are classic Profoto light modifiers, famous for their flattering beauty light. They’re made in metal and can be used with all Profoto lights. The OCF Beauty Dishes are lightweight, made with fabric and collapsible, which makes them perfect for on-location shooting. The OCF models are dedicated for our popular off-camera flashes only.

Guide

Which color?

Choose a White beauty dish when you want a softer and even light. Choose the Silver beauty dish if you want a little bit more punch and contrast in the light. What they have in common is that they both give you what we refer to as a beautiful, creamy yet crisp light.

I have to travel a lot to locations, and open and close reflectors a lot, but the OCF Beauty Dish was easy to use and gave me soft light when I needed it.

It’s also not heavy, so it’s easy to take with me. And it’s pretty strong.

The OCF Beauty Dish gives a soft, creamy light with a beautiful fall off. It makes my model’s skin look gorgeous and gives a hint of contrast to her eyes.
