Light with a Beauty Dish - Alien Bees

I've decided that I really need to blog more, and have some more helpful content. So, here goes:

Over the past year, I've learned a lot with each one of my shoots. Even more so, I've learned more about the light modifiers that I do have (22" white beauty dish, large softbox and large octabox). I've used my beauty dish a lot over the course of these past 11 months and have become quite comfortable using it. I also find it very easy to work with on location, since it's less prone to wind, when used on a boom, compared to a large softbox or octabox.

"Knowing how certain light modifiers work, why they work & how to use them to their fullest potential is key. Knowledge is key. Even more so when experience is coupled with knowledge."

I've found out what works & what doesn't work. More often, I have learned that I still have a lot to learn! Today, I'm sharing with you all my recent experiences with the AlienBee (Paul C. Buff) 22" white beauty dish.
