Portrait with a ringlight
- Thread starter bargwahn

To me portraits are all about the careful positioning of the light and shadow - otherwise you end up with something flat.
Looks interesting and cool, but not my cup of tea.

Although looks a bit flat... I'd go for brighter colours and appearance...

It has that creative, artsy look. The kind that get recognition in places like Photoworkshop. I guess I'm just an ol' fuddy-duddy cuz....I don't get it.

I like the cool color palette and the soft even light from the ring light but the iris of her eye showing the ring light bothers me. I wold prefer a singular spectral highlight.
Over all I like it.

--The model certainly makes up for the composition. But I like it.

Ringlight is easy to misuse. You can't just use it "cuz it looks cool" and expect good results. Also, like many specialized techniques, it's gone through a "fad phase" in which it was overdone, so some people got sick of seeing it. (Right now, I'm more sick of endless vignetting effects than I am of HDR! LOL)
Your shot succeeds because you use the strengths of ringlight without falling prey to the cliche'. Also, it helps to have a model with good facial structure and complexion.
