A beauty dish is a light that produces a hard light. The light can be made harder when you use a grid which directs the light into one direction rather than having a widely directed light. When you place a beauty dish close to the subject, the subject will be illuminated from different angles and this will produce less shadows. When a beauty dish is further away from the subject, more shadows are formed.
A small reflector directs the light. The light in this image has an attachment called the honeycomb grid which creates a focused beam of light with no diffusion but it is not intense. Honeycomb grids vary in size but are usually the size of a drinking straw.
A soft box is an attachment for the studio lights that softens the light. The soft box is there to evenly light the subject, thus creating an evenly lit image.
