Join David Hobby for an in-depth discussion in this video The ring as key with light on the background, part of Lighting with Flash: The Basics.
I want to find a way to just really emphasize the color in your lips coming back. So, here's my problem.…I can light her with this ring flash, and I can have the light falling off as it gets…back to her, but she's got the shadow. And I want to make that shadow go away by putting…a light behind her, so I'm going to pull you out just a little bit if I could.…There we go, thank you. Drop this in. All right, have a seat. I'm going to get this down.…
So instead of using this light to accent her, I'm now using it to erase the shadow that…the ring is making.…I don't know if it's bright enough. I don't know anything yet. Let's just try it. Very…different-looking. Okay, do not move, perfect!…Okay, chin up just a little bit. Good, good. I like the way you pulled your shoulder in like that too.…
Good. Okay, the light's a little too hot in the back, and we'll take that down just a tad.…Is that right? Better. Okay, don't move.…Okay, not so much around with your shoulder; you had it back just there. There you go. Good.…
