Foreword

You can see what it’s meant to be

To photograph corpses, photographers use a ring‐flash. This is a flash light surrounding the lens, creating not a circular reflection, but a nice and even light – as long as you do not photograph living eyes.

This type of lighting can be found, for instance, in a series by Martin Schöller, a photographer from New York. He has photographed every A‐list celebrity in the USA, and more recently many homeless people, using a ring‐flash lens. His subjects' faces are kept natural (no makeup or anything like that) and can be blown up to be metres large and hang in galleries displaying clarity and truth.
