Portability. Some ring-flash units have a handle so you can move freely with
it while shooting. This allows you to walk, in an arc around the subject (main-
taining the camera-to-subject distance), which allows for the use of a consis-
tent aperture without re-metering. The ability to use the ring flash with a
battery-powered power pack makes it useful for outdoor shooting.
44 LIGHTING FOR GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAPHY
Iām often looking for interesting
backgrounds. In this case, while in
Phoenix, I chose a swimming pool
with a waterfall area for the back-
drop for Riley, as she posed for one
of the first times in front of my cam-
era. She was illuminated with a sin-
gle Hensel Integra 500 Pro Plus
monolight fitted with a Chimera
Super Pro Plus strip box with a Light-
tools 40-degree grid on the front of
it. (CAMERA:Canon EOS 5D fitted with
a Canon 70ā200mm f/2.8L IS USM.
SETTINGS: 160mm effective focal
