USE RING LIGHTS WITH LEDS FOR BEAUTY AND BOUDOIR PORTRAITS

Ring lights are popular for beauty, fashion and boudoir photography because of the flattering, shadow-free look they produce over faces and skin. However, the light is rather flat. As such, it’s often a good idea to combine a ring light with another light source. In our dog shot earlier we mixed in window light, and for the boudoir shot here the ring light was used with another LED, placed behind and to the right side of the subject. The ring light gives us that catchlight in the eyes and flattering light over the skin, while the rear light offers an edge highlight over the hair and body, helping separate her from the backdrop and adding depth to the portrait.
