A ring light is a circular light source that fits around the lens of the camera and lends a flat lighting fashion-like look to portraits. Photographers favor ring lights because they are
inexpensive, convenient, lightweight, and provide constant light (this allows photographers to see the lighting effect as they work and make quick adjustments).
In this book, Anderson takes a close look at how ring lights operate, describes the of their use, and explains how they can be used alone or in tandem with other studio lights or ambient
(existing) light. Next, Anderson presents an array of images and discussions on how each was made. You’ll learn how to create ring-lit portraiture and commercial images and will learn how to
employ ring lights for videography.
Armed with the techniques outlined in this book, you’ll find countless reasons to purchase a ring light, experiment, and watch your creative efforts and profits surge.
