The beauty dish from Lumodi came in the mail. I just had to try it out. Notice the quality of light, the spill control, the reflection in the eyes. It all adds up to one hot photo. I will definitely use this modifier more often.

Shot using Lumodi 14″ Beauty Dish. This is the first time I used a beauty dish. The amount of control one has over the light is amazing.
