Summary:
Steven Van Veen shows us how to make interesting portrait pictures with a ringlight.
A ringlight is a round neonlight and has a special light characteristic: It doesn't emit much light, so you can make open aperture shots.
With little changes in the position of the model and the ringlight you can change the results:
- change the size of the ring reflex on the eye by moving the model towards or away from the light.
- change the shadow sutrrounding the model by moving the model and the light away from the background.
Great video!
Is this the first comment here on FotoTV.com? Great! The video is very informative and shows how to take great photos with a special "eye-effect"! Something, I always wanted to know. Now everybody is able to create his own magazine cover! Best wishes, Merlin
Brilliant light and a brilliant video
The photographs and the model are really stunning. It's a brilliant idea to let him speak through the ringlight. Really like that one. I'll have to purchase one of these in future...
I wish you all the best with the new FotoTV.com.
Best regards
Sebastian
How much does it cost? Stores and shops?
You normally can puchase a ringlight for about 100 Euros or less.
You can find some links at the GERMAN website of FotoTV(.de).
It would be great to have some links for the US, UK or other shops and local stores around the world.
How much does it cost? Stores and shops?
Indeed, i've thought about making one, but 100 EUROS is a bargain. Need a link though, i've googled my ass of looking for these before..
A german site is ok, as long as they ship to the rest of europe, and answer emails in english.. :)
Interesting. I recently
Interesting. I recently wondered about some octagonal lights in subjects eyes. Must have been something like this. Appreciated shutter speed and f-stop info. as well as distances from background. Thanks, NJC
