I'd have to say that's the opinion of almost all pro portrait photographers. I can't speak for fashion photographers. As I said ... I'd like to see results with it along with a key light.

Can't wait to hear more about the construction of the ringlight! Thanks!

A ring light has it's place for product photography, but not for people. It's the same reason that we look our worst, in a rest room, where there are lights all the way around the mirror. A face it's broadest in that situation and the same with a ring light. It also gives no direction to the lighting and a poor ratio. Also, the catch light in the eyes in not attractive at all. If any of you want to try a ring light, try it on some table top macro photography since that's what it is designed for.

What the hell?

Your photo is awesome!

Your ring-light set-up is awesome

Please tell what kind of lights you used, as i think i'd like to make one of those!

This is one of the best self portrait shots I have seen here. Very creative and the ring light works great!
