Profoto Softlight Reflector (Silver) Beauty Dish

The Profoto Softlight Reflector , a.k.a "Beauty Dish" gives a center-weighted beam. Its 20.5" diameter gives soft shadow definition. Its finish is efficient and highly specular. The center disc that blocks out the direct light can be replaced by an optional semi-opaque opal glass disc to create a center hot spot which also eliminates a donut-hole effect in specular highlights. Each reflector can be supplemented by a honeycomb grid to create soft, toned-down edge-lighting. The optional Softlight Grid accessory yields 10° coverage for more directed light.

Photographers often refer to the Softlight Reflector Silver as the “Beauty Dish.” The reason for this nickname 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 is often ideal for portraits and people photography. The silver version delivers more punch and contrast than its white counterpart.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Julian ★★★★★

The soft light it produces on skin is exactly what I was hoping for, with just enough contrast to give portraits that crisp, professional look. It clamps onto my light stand securely and feels well-balanced during shoots.

John U. ★★★★★

The metal construction feels robust, and even first time the light spread was beautifully even with crisp shadows.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The light fall-off from this dish is incredibly smooth—my portraits have that crisp, defined look without any harsh hotspots. I’ve been using it for headshots and the contrast is just right, making skin tones pop. Definitely worth the investment for anyone serious about studio lighting.
