This ring flash softbox is made of fabric and rods, collapsing much like a softbox. At 18" in diameter, the assembled softbox provides quite a large light source, especially when compared to alternative adapters. A ring flash is a donut of light that sits around the camera’s lens. Because the light comes from all directions, the shadows cancel each other out. A softbox works by making the light much bigger, thus softening the shadows it casts and flattering the subject.
