I used several of my Monday Modifier picks in the image below. A Rogue Grid brought out the detail on the flower in Abby's hair. A strip bank was used to bring out more detail camera left. I ran into some problems with a choice of a main light. I started with a large softbox. I tried a 60" shoot through umbrella, then a Westcott Halo and then I finally tried the Beauty Dish. You often hear where a Beauty Dish is not ideal when you're going for soft skin. Fortunately I had a sock from another light that fit perfectly and it just made her eye's glow.
I know, you're saying "But I don't have an Interfit Stellar Strobe!". Actually, neither do I. The dish has an "S" Type adapter, so it will work with Westcott Strobelites or any light using this common adapter. I like to use the Beauty Dish with my Nissin Di866 Flash. For that, I use the Interfit Strobie XS Bracket. It's made of some very solid metal so it adds some nice counterweight to the setup. It also will take an umbrella and has a second cold shoe on top so you can double up shooting into an umbrella. It will also let you use all your Softboxes with your flashes.
