I LOVE my Alienbees Beauty Dish and grid!

Not too long ago I got the Alienbees 22" white beauty dish and a 30 degree grid for my AB800 (I only have this one light). The beauty dish is a beautiful light modifier on it's own but adding the grid narrows the beam of light from the strobe so that I can finally create images with a lot more shadows. I can also have more control over how much light that will fall on the background.

I know a lot of you out there are shooting in small spaces and do not have access to large studios. In small shooting spaces it is hard to keep light from flooding the background, but not with the 30 degree grid! I use the Beauty dish and grid to add diversity to my images and to experiment with new ways to light my subjects while still shooting in the same small room that I have always shot in. It is a huge benefit to me to finally be able to create images that have a completely different look and feel to them!
