Looks like they're shooting lasers out of their eyes! Great portraits. Really like the expression on the last one.

Heres where I found the tutorial
https://iso.500px.com/diy-lighting-ring-tutorial/

Since I already had most of the tools it ran me about 60 dollars and about 2 hours to make. Wiring it together is the tricky part. Also putting it on a stand can be tricky

I've got a ring light too, and while I love the lighting effect, I really don't like the strange catchlights in the eyes. It is too distracting, IMHO. I may go back and try again with it, but this time edit out the catchlights.

The other option is to buy the Neewer version which is just under $100

I would like to try this. How did you put it on your light stand?

Lighting results are nice, but the catchlights are deal breakers.

This looks pretty cool and relatively cheap option to just have a try


Cools shots and well done on the DIY light to the OP also
