With a focus on versatility, Savage is releasing several sizes of softboxes and beauty dishes as part of a series dubbed “Modmaster.” These are sure to please both novice and seasoned professionals who regularly use studio strobes when they shoot. The softbox is octagonal and comes in 35, 59, and 78" versions, while the beauty dishes feature a collapsible design and are available in two shapes: octagonal in 36 and 48" sizes, or round in 24, 31, and 47" sizes. All these light modifiers come with a standard Bowens speed ring, enabling compatibility with a wide range of lights.
The softbox is a great option for softening your light, offering an octagonal form factor that offers plenty of surface area while also producing natural-looking catchlights in the eyes of your subject. Included with it is a reversible insert, offering a silver side that gives the light a more “punchy” quality and a gold side that results in a warmer tone. Also in the package is a standard removable front diffuser, a fabric grid for narrowing your beam spread, and a carry bag to keep it all together when you travel.
As for the beauty dishes, they reflect light by bouncing it onto a metal deflector, which then spreads it around the silver interior fabric. The result is a crisp, wrap-around light that is ideal for fashion and cosmetic shooters. You can choose between the round and the octagonal version, depending on the catchlight you prefer, and use either a speedlight via the included adapter or a compatible studio strobe as your light source. A removable inner diffuser helps you control the quality of your light, and a fabric grid is also included to give you more directional control. Additionally, each of the beauty dishes features a collapsible design to benefit storage and portability.
