At long last – the video Todd and I shot while building the Mark II edition of the “Chinatown Special,” is up. Here’s the 4 minute walk-through of how to make what Todd and I think is the best DIY beauty dish around.
For the full 10-step instructions, more photos of the design, and the complete parts list, check out the full write-up for this DIY beauty dish design.
For a sample portrait and catch light detail using the Chinatown Special, check out this example. Also, stay tuned for a full write-up about using the CS “on the ground” from my promo shoot with the My Silent Bravery.

Great post Chris! Definitely going to try this.. cheaper than that softbox purchase I was considering ;P
Hey Jamie,
I should note that although the actual cutting and sanding and such don’t take very long (a couple of hours?) the painting could take a couple of days (dying time in between coats) depending on how many coats of paint you want.
Duly noted ;)
That is soooo f’ing rad what you guys did here.
You guys have an email list? I need more smart people in my life
Hey Michael,
Thanks! We don’t have a newsletter (yet), the best way to keep tabs on Todd and me is twitter. He’s @toddowyoung and I’m @chrisowyoung.
