OCF Beauty Dish 1

36 years ago, Profoto released a lighting accessory they called the Softlight Reflector. Today, we call this creation a beauty dish, thanks to its unique design that softens light in the perfect manner for portraits.

Today, Profoto has announced a new and improved version, the OCF Beauty Dish. And this time, it’s collapsable, making it far more portable and lightweight than ever before.OCF Beauty Dish 2

Technically, this compact update is nothing more than an octabank with a beauty dish reflector and diffuser on the outside. But it brings into the 21st century a product that has long had its place in the arsenal of strobists around the world.
