That&#8217;s excellent since that&#8217;s exactly what we have for you today! Ring lights are an important part of any photographer\u2019s toolkit. Although they can be a little pricy, they\u2019re key to achieving that \u201cglow\u201d on your subject&#8217;s face in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/plan\/photo-studio\">studio shoot<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering what\u2019s so cool about using a ring light for photography? Because they\u2019re shaped like a circle, you can put your lens <em>through<\/em> the ring light. They eliminate any shadows and glare that would otherwise fall on your subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s take a look at some of the most important things to keep in mind when using a ring light for photography, from all the places to get one to how to put it to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Why-use-a-ring-light-for-photography?\">Why use a ring light for photography?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/philadlephia-urban-uptown-apartment-photo-studio-1024x680.webp 1024w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/philadlephia-urban-uptown-apartment-photo-studio-300x199.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/philadlephia-urban-uptown-apartment-photo-studio-768x510.webp 768w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/philadlephia-urban-uptown-apartment-photo-studio.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/philadlephia-urban-uptown-apartment-photo-studio-1024x680.jpg\" height=\"680\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/philadlephia-urban-uptown-apartment-photo-studio-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/philadlephia-urban-uptown-apartment-photo-studio-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/philadlephia-urban-uptown-apartment-photo-studio-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/philadlephia-urban-uptown-apartment-photo-studio.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-74671 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Photoshoot Rooms in Philadelphia\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Peerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Are ring lights new inventions? Not at all, and they certainly we not created for social media, for one thing! Interestingly, ring lights were originally designed in 1952 <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ring_flash\">for dentists<\/a> to get well-lit shots of patients\u2019 teeth. Back then, manufacturers made classic ring lights with fluorescent tubes. But these days, many ring lights comprise multiple LEDs instead, which allows them to last longer and use less power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ring lights are staples in modern photography, especially when it comes to creating content for social media. Since ring lights distribute a soft, even illumination with ease, they make anyone look amazing. You can use them for either continuous or flash photography as well as for YouTube videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to glamour shots, you can use ring lights for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/plan\/wedding-photo-shoot\">weddings<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/plan\/head-shot\">headshots<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/plan\/portrait-photoshoot\">portraits<\/a> of all kinds. You can even use a ring flash for macro photography, such as taking close-up photos of flowers, jewelry, and other small objects for commercial projects. They&#8217;re a handy, professional option when a traditional lighting setup just isn\u2019t practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Follow our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/cinematic-interview-lighting\/\">3 simple steps for cinematic interview lighting<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Purchasing-the-right-ring-light-for-your-needs\">Purchasing the right ring light for your needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-blue-dance-studio-1024x683.webp 1024w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-blue-dance-studio-300x200.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-blue-dance-studio-768x512.webp 768w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-blue-dance-studio-750x500.webp 750w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-blue-dance-studio.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-blue-dance-studio-1024x683.webp\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-blue-dance-studio-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-blue-dance-studio-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-blue-dance-studio-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-blue-dance-studio-750x500.webp 750w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/los-angeles-blue-dance-studio.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-67250 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"ring light for photography\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Peerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The type of ring light you purchase will depend on what kind of photos you plan to take. If you\u2019re taking portraits of models in a studio, you may want to get a larger ring light, such as this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Diva-Ring-Light-Dimmable-Stand\/dp\/B0149N4PD6?SubscriptionId=AKIAINYWQL7SPW7D7JCA&amp;tag=aboutcom02lifewire-20&amp;linkCode=sp1&amp;camp=2025&amp;creative=165953&amp;creativeASIN=B0149N4PD6&amp;ascsubtag=4177473%257Cn6ec03f2b70584d93aaf9fda16c0dd3b219\">18-inch ring light<\/a> with a six-foot stand. It comes with a 5400K fluorescent bulb that can dim to 20% power, a diffusion cloth, and a gooseneck stand for easy adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTubers and beauty bloggers may prefer a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Shooting-YouTube-Portrait-Photography-Dimmable\/dp\/B078PD9HPY\/ref=dp_prsubs_1\">tabletop ring light<\/a> with a desktop stand and fully dimmable LED bulbs. You can even find ring lights designed for selfies that clip right onto your smartphone. These are the cheapest and most portable options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a professional portrait or fashion photographer using a ring light for photography, then you\u2019ll probably want to get a ring light that\u2019s designed for use with a DSLR. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tripod-YouTube-Makeup-Desktop-Brightness\/dp\/B07JX79GBS\/ref=pd_di_sccai_5\/137-0062576-0952037\">LED ring light<\/a> attaches right to your lens, making it perfect for on-the-go macro photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to factor the cost of replacement bulbs into your purchase. LED lights typically last longer and use less power. Fluorescent bulbs produce more heat and are more likely to break. However, they are more diffuse and provide a slightly different color temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re feeling creative, you can even make your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diyphotography.net\/build-easiest-diy-ring-light-ever-less-20\/\">DIY ring light<\/a> out of a plastic hose!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as you can see, ring lights put a truly professional touch on photos and video. They also come in a range of prices, making them superb for newbies and old pros alike. In a sense, they&#8217;re similar to scoring the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/plan\/photo-shoot\">perfect photoshoot location<\/a>, which Peerspace can also help you with!

The most common way to set up a ring light is with your camera inside it, as with the DSLR and smartphone setups described above. With this type of lighting set-up, you\u2019ll use the ring light as your primary light source, aimed directly at your subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do it right, you\u2019ll end up with a soft, diffused light that illuminates your subject without any of the harsh shadows caused by other lighting sources. Ring lights are beneficial if you want to draw attention to your model\u2019s eyes. But remember, they are known for creating \u201ccatch lights\u201d for a reason! Also, ring lights can create distracting shadows in some circumstances. For example, you\u2019ll want to avoid a ring light if your subject is wearing glasses that reflect the ring light or create unwanted glare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use a ring light in other ways. Try using it as a <a href=\"https:\/\/photofocus.com\/photography\/portrait-tips-use-a-hair-or-rim-light\/\">hair light<\/a> above the subject\u2019s head or as a background light to separate them from the backdrop. Because a ring light creates a distinctive circular shape, photographers don&#8217;t often use them as a lone light source. Doing so will cause your model\u2019s face to be surrounded by shadows. Most of the time, when using a ring light for photography, you\u2019ll want to use additional studio lights or natural sunlight to eliminate shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>What to read next: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/soft-lighting-everything-you-need-to-know\/\">everything you need to know about soft lighting<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"other-uses-for-a-ring-light\">Other uses for a ring light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/chic-east-memphis-event-studio-salon-1024x685.webp 1024w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/chic-east-memphis-event-studio-salon-300x201.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/chic-east-memphis-event-studio-salon-768x514.webp 768w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/chic-east-memphis-event-studio-salon.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/chic-east-memphis-event-studio-salon-1024x685.jpg\" height=\"685\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/chic-east-memphis-event-studio-salon-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/chic-east-memphis-event-studio-salon-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/chic-east-memphis-event-studio-salon-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/chic-east-memphis-event-studio-salon.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-69097 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"ring light for photography\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Peerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/plan\/portrait-photoshoot\">portraits<\/a>, ring lights are also great for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/plan\/product-shoot\">product photography<\/a>. They allow you to highlight the details of an object without casting shadows. Use the gooseneck to point your ring light directly at your table or workspace. You can also use ring lights to take close-ups of tattoos, jewelry, eyes, hands, and other body parts or accessories. If you&#8217;re a commercial photographer, ring lights literally let you display the products in the best light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also help you catch fine details of the human face. In fact, many makeup artists and hairstylists use ring lights when <em>applying<\/em> makeup since they provide the evenest lighting. Simply set up a round mirror in the center of the ring light where you would ordinarily put the camera lens. Use it to apply your makeup, then swap it out for the camera to take glamour shots for your Instagram page or website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ring lights aren\u2019t just for still photographs either. Many YouTubers use ring lights to illuminate their videos. This creates a soft, flattering look that doesn\u2019t require many setups. And as a bonus, it can be used even when natural lighting isn\u2019t available. As you set up your gear, you\u2019ll typically want to have both the light and camera at eye level. But as the shoot progresses, you can experiment with other positions to find the right look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Should-your-ring-light-be-set-to-flash-or-continuous?\">Should your ring light be set to flash or continuous?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/scottsdale-creative-unique-photography-studio-1024x683.webp 1024w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/scottsdale-creative-unique-photography-studio-300x200.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/scottsdale-creative-unique-photography-studio-768x512.webp 768w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/scottsdale-creative-unique-photography-studio-750x500.webp 750w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/scottsdale-creative-unique-photography-studio.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/scottsdale-creative-unique-photography-studio-1024x683.jpg\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/scottsdale-creative-unique-photography-studio-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/scottsdale-creative-unique-photography-studio-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/scottsdale-creative-unique-photography-studio-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/scottsdale-creative-unique-photography-studio-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/scottsdale-creative-unique-photography-studio.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-70333 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"ring light for photography\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Peerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the great things about using ring lights for photography is that you can use them either as a flash or a continuous light source. Using them as a flash will save you on power. This is especially crucial if you\u2019re shooting outdoors and relying on a battery. But you may have to take several pictures and adjust the lighting multiple times until you get the intensity and diffusion just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using LEDs and aren\u2019t worried about overheating or running out of battery, then you can keep them on continuously. This allows you to make adjustments as you go. You can also ensure every photo you take is perfectly lit, which is crucial for great photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Don&#8217;t forget to also check out: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/rembrandt-lighting-what-it-is-how-to-use-it\/\">Rembrandt lighting, what it is and how to use it<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Begin Peerspace Banner -->\n<div class=\"banner\">\n  <div class=\"banner-text\">\n\n    \n    <h2>Book the perfect photo shoot location.<\/h2>\n\n    \n    \n    <p>\n      Peerspace makes it easy to book the perfect photoshoot space by the hour.

Local creatives like yourself own and operate Peerspace venues, so it&#8217;s a way of supporting the creative community, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you book a Peerspace that doesn&#8217;t include a ring light, consult your venue&#8217;s friendly local host. Many of them are members of the photography community and can help you get a ring light easily. That way, you can get down to what you need to &#8212; creating incredible photographs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, you&#8217;ll notice that many photoshoot locations on our platform come well-equipped with an array of photography gear that you can use as part of your rental. And yes, this means the use of a ring light may be included in a space you book! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peerspace listings are complete with high-def photos, upfront pricing, reviews from past bookers, and a detailed description and equipment list. So you&#8217;ll know ahead of time if the space you book has ring lights on-site or if you need your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Discover more of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/category\/photography\/\">Peerspace&#8217;s professional photography resources here<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Which-Peerspace-venues-have-ring-lights?\">Which Peerspace venues have ring lights?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYC-Penthouse-Hidden-Gem-of-Jamaica-1024x682.webp 1024w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYC-Penthouse-Hidden-Gem-of-Jamaica-300x200.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYC-Penthouse-Hidden-Gem-of-Jamaica-768x511.webp 768w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYC-Penthouse-Hidden-Gem-of-Jamaica-750x500.webp 750w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYC-Penthouse-Hidden-Gem-of-Jamaica.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYC-Penthouse-Hidden-Gem-of-Jamaica-1024x682.jpg\" height=\"682\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYC-Penthouse-Hidden-Gem-of-Jamaica-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYC-Penthouse-Hidden-Gem-of-Jamaica-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYC-Penthouse-Hidden-Gem-of-Jamaica-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYC-Penthouse-Hidden-Gem-of-Jamaica-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/NYC-Penthouse-Hidden-Gem-of-Jamaica.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-79125 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"ring light for photography\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Peerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to book a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/\">Peerspace<\/a> venue and practice your ring light setups in a professional setting, you may wonder how to ensure your booking has said lighting.
