Used a big DIY ringlight for this shot. It's shot as a business portrait on location.

It's a beautiful light and great image. I think if you were to remove the flyaway hairs it would be even better.
Thanks Pete Whittaker !
Very pretty model. Some side lighting would enhance her features.
Thanks Pat McEntee for the feedback.
Nice job. I'm not a big fan of ring lights though, They make the catch lights look really strange in most cases. I've tried, but really can't think of a natural light source they emulate. Just my opinion.
Thanks Deleted User . I only use the ringlight occasionally, my experience is that it works for some people, but with others it really doesn't. I personally like the effect and catch lights, but i totally agree it's a surreal look and doesn't emulate anything natural.
Also, I picked this photo to submit because I didn't see any ringlight portraits being submitted. There should be at least one!
