Orbis £149, $199

-

The ring flash is a favourite among fashion photograph­ers wanting flattering illuminati­on with minimal shadows. Dedicated ring flashes are pricey, but the Orbis creates the same effect from your flashgun, funnelling its flash-burst into a ring of light surroundin­g your Nikon’s lens.

Getting everything into position means your flashgun needs to be hung below your Nikon using an optional bracket, or you can simply hold the Orbis around your lens, but either way, you’ll need an off-camera flash cord.

The end result is a pretty unwieldy set-up that’ll certainly exercise your arms on long shoots, but the quality of light is worth the workout. The near-shadowless illuminati­on is stunning to behold, though it will sap around two stops of light power.
