MagMod Beauty Dish XL Pro — Real World Test + Unboxing
#beautyportrait #photographygear #unboxing
In this video, I take you behind the scenes as I create our signature beauty portraits with Kay using the MagMod XL Beauty Dish Pro and the Viltrox 135mm f/1.8. I normally lean on my trusty 90mm for glam and headshots, but this time I wanted to push the look with the 135mm — and the results speak for themselves.
You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at the full lighting setup, a "Ray Alvarez-style" unboxing of the MagMod XL, and a tutorial on how to creatively implement gels into your off-camera flash work. Whether you're just starting with gels or want to refine your beauty portrait lighting, this video gives you both inspiration and technique.
