A ring flash is a camera accessory that attaches to the flash and reflects it into a ring. The major benefit of a ring flash is that it creates a photo with very few shadows, as it reflects light from multiple angles, lighting the subject more evenly. Ring flash attachments are fairly expensive, but you can save money by making your own ring flash from household objects that you might already have around. Once the attachment is constructed, you simply connect it to your cameras flash.

Turn the larger bowl upside down and place the PVC pipe on top of it, centering it in place. Trace around the pipe with a marker, then cut out the marked circle with the utility knife.
2Turn the smaller bowl upside down and place the PVC pipe on top of it. Trace around the edge with a marker, then cut out the circle with a utility knife.
3Place the flash head against the outside of the larger bowl. Trace around it with the marker, then use the utility knife to cut out the opening.
4Apply spray adhesive to the inside of the larger bowl; then line the inside of the bowl with aluminum foil. Line the outside of the small bowl and the outside of the pipe with the same method.
5Insert one end of the pipe just slightly inside the hole at the bottom of the small bowl, so the rest of the pipe sticks out from the bottom of the bowl. Tape it in place with duct tape.
6Place the other end of the pipe inside the larger bowl so it is just slightly inside the hole. Tape it in place with duct tape.
7Insert the head of the flash into the hole you cut for it earlier. Use a small amount of duct tape to hold it in place. The flash will now reflect around the ring and toward the subject.
