Ring flash in portraits has a very distinctive look but owning a ring flash doesn’t limit you to just one style.
In this video, Gavin creates three amazing images by using the Orbis Ring Flash Attachment in a ways that go well beyond simply shooting through center.
After taking the photos follow Gavin in to Photoshop CC where he continues with the unconventional theme and gives the final photo a very dark, moody feel.
