Rings + Light = Ringlights. Sorry another one of my attempts at making jokes. Anyways lets get down to business. For those of you who have not heard ringlights are one of the most overly used tools in the fashion / commercial photography industry.
A ringflash or ringlight is a circular donut like tube thing which emits light. It is normally positioned in the front on axis with the camera view. When used alone the ringlight / flash would create a unique 3D halo effect on your subject. Jill greenberg and a few other noted fashion / commercial photographer tends to use ringlights / flash in conjunction with side / rim lights to create that look (Jill greenberg / Dave hill type of look).
P/S: When used in conjunction with backlights or key lights the ringlight / flash becomes an effective fill light.
