With a ring light, you can shed an evenly-distributed light on a subject and reduce shadows. This creates a spread-out and smooth lighting, which makes these lights very suitable for portrait photography. Ring lights are also popular with make-up artists and (beauty) vloggers, because the applied make-up is so clearly visible. In addition, the ring light is very suitable as extra light for macro photography, because it allows you to use a smaller aperture and get more depth of field. LED ring lights don't heat up, so you can use them for a long time.
