In this video we test different light modifiers mounted to an exposed flash tube against those with a recessed flash tube. The same light, the new Godox AD600 Pro II, was used in all of these shots and we used a variety of rectagular and narrow strip boxes, a collapsible beauty dish, and a hard beauty dish. Each light modifier was run through a variety of tests including a glow test to see how even the light filled the modifier, a background test to see how the fall off varied as it spilled onto the background, a power test to see how much power was lost by either mounting option, and finally a real world model test to see if we can notice any specific lighting changes on human skin, eyes, lips, and other facial features.
