Ring light and LED light panel

Having good lighting is the main key in capturing good portraits. That’s why investing in a good, dimmable ring light with a stand is a must. The one from EWA features white, warm white, and warm light modes with 10 adjustable levels. Should you want to be more creative, there’s another with a built-in RGB mode. It can be adjusted according to the intensity and effects that you want to use. Both come with a diameter of 26cm, an adjustable tripod, phone holder, wired remote control for lighting, and a USB-A cable for power. You may also want to go extra and opt for an LED light panel for softer light effects. For those who want a compact one, there’s a rechargeable clip-on ring light with a standard white light. It has 35 LEDs inside that give enough lighting.

You’ll need a sturdy and easy-to-setup background stand as well as enough clips to hold your backdrop.
