Beauty dish

A lighting gadget that is used in portrait and fashion photography to create an effect that is flattering to the subject. It is made up of a big reflector in the shape of a circular dish that is typically between 40 and 50 centimeters in diameter and has a light source situated in the middle of it. The lamp will typically have an opaque cover, which ensures that the subject will only be illuminated by the diffused light reflected from the dish.
