LUMI II 400 Three-Head Beauty Photography Kit

The PIXAPRO LUMI II 400 Three-Head Beauty kit is the ideal kit for anyone who is serious about getting into beauty photography. This kit comes supplied with a Beauty Dish, which is typically placed centred above your subject, designed to accentuate your subject’s facial features and help pull out more details in your subject’s skin and makeup. The Beauty dish also produces pleasing perfectly round catchlights in the eyes of your subject.  This kit also comes with 2x 30x120cm strip softboxes, which can be used to rim-light your subject, to further accentuate your subject’s bone structure, or to separate your subject from the background. This kit also comes with a80x120cm 5in1 reflector, which is typically placed under your subject’s chin to fill-in any fill in shadows. The reflector will also produce a second catchlight, which is often desired in this style of photography.

Traditional beauty-lighting, consists of the main light, being placed centred in front of your subject, raised slightly above eye level (a boom stand is commonly used for this set up as the light can be boomed over your subject so that the stand’s centre-column doesn’t end up in the frame). A reflector is then used to provide subtle fill from underneath your subject’s chin. This kit also comes with 2x Strip lights, that can either be used as a rim-light to accentuate your subject’s features. A Beauty Dish is used as it produces flattering lighting, whilst retaining skin details in your final photograph.
