Light Rings What type of photography are light rings used for, and what effect do they give?

The regular light rings are used a lot for macro. It gives even lighting for something that's only a few inches away. The stronger ones turn up in fashion ads. They also evenly light the person, with a faint even shadow that outlines them, instead of a shadow that has a direction to one side. They also flatten the person into the background. It smoothes textures and facial features. Even more if it's diffused. It's an easily recognizable look.

Thank you, Gregory. Your picture of the green tomatoes, did you use a light ring for that?
