Ring Lights

What is ring lighting?

Ring lighting is a type of incident lighting: The light source shines onto the object from the same side as the camera. Also known as front lighting or direct lighting. Generally incident lighting is used to highlight features on the object which are parallel to the lighting or camera.

Advantages of ring lights are

  • Camera looks through the light allowing the light to be "on axis"
  • models with fresnel lenses give focused even lighting
  • some models fasten directly to the camera or lens for simple installation
