When photography was first invented, the only light used was the sun. The first lighting developed for photography in the 1830s. Next came battery lights and then arc lights. The electric light did not come into use for photography until 1877. The ring light is an electric light that, because if its shape and the amount of light provided, helps to create pictures without shadows.
Instructions
