$20 Homemade Beauty Dish

bdish1 300x142 $20 Homemade Beauty Dish

My $20 (+15) home made beauty dish.

14″ garden bowl from Home Depot, 12 ounce Tupperware container with the bottom cut out and a 3″ concave mirror in its place.

The additional mod I’ve made was the attachment of a Photogenic ring to the back of the dish. As add another $15 for the complete project.

The blue tape is to mask the paint transition touch up. It has been suggested that the interior of the beauty dish could be painted gold or silver to produce a more flattering effect.

The last photo is the result taken with homemade beauty dish. I now use it in about half of my portrait work.
