I love taking beauty photographs, but getting the right lighting is difficult. This is because you need soft even lighting, for a flattering look.  Anything with flash is not flattering and is harsh.

A beauty dish can be home made!  Check out this link:

With this you can use you own flash on your camera or a light head if you have one.  Give it a go! I use my beauty light an awful lot :)

Ooooo...thank you! I will definitely try this!

That's pretty cool... I will try it as well! :)

Let me know what you think about it!  It's a cost effective way of getting a soft natural light :)
