Ringer


Bruce of LA used that white ring in a number of his more dramatically lighted photos.
I can't really describe why, but it really works to enhance even a great model like Brian Idol.

  1. The ring almost looks like a neon light. The lighting here is perfect.

  2. A beautiful image - the lighting is perfect and the white ring really does work well here.

  3. probably a circular fluorescent lamp, the translucency when illuminated from the back and the fact that there is a brightness gradient at the 11 o'clock position that should not has been with a flat ring, point to it.
    These lamps were quite popular in the 50's.
    Why not to make a ring series?

    1. Great suggestion! I'll see if I have enough photos to do that.

  4. This is gorgeous. What lighting! To me, ideally Brian would be naked. I too wondered if that might be a circular fluorescent lamp. Strong geometric shapes do work well as a counterpoint to the complex male form.
