Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Ringflash
ive been using a Profoto Ringflash on the Profoto Acute System http://www.profoto.com/acuted4-ring for fashion week in New York
1st impressions is that its a compact solution and it allows me to shoot faster since i dont have to worry about light off camera light position, im not a big fan of omnidirectional light but for the red carpet it's light wrap is 1 step better than a speedlight Instead of harsh shadows it creates an even shadow halo around the subjects and has a nice light wrap around the subjects faces red carpet    backstage  Wendell Levi Teodoro

Re: Ringflash
The omni-directional look is different. I am not sure if I could shoot every shot wiht it though

Re: Ringflash
Great stuff Wendell. This would be most useful especially if you didn't have an assistant etc...Much much better than oncamera flash of any other kind.
Re: Ringflash
I can see the benefits of a omni directional light here, there are no harsh shadows and as you mentioned and it 'wraps' around nicely!
On the first three images it looks like one corner of the image is over exposed/brighter than the others, is this the light or something else? The second image is very nice - looks like a really easy model to work with  The first looks a bit bland from a composition pov.The Profoto Acute is darn heavy though 1.8kgs  - Wendell, those biceps must be looking good now!gerry's photography journey
No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
