Ran across this image of Lee Friedlander using what appears to be a ring-light. I found this interesting...maybe I'll be the only one. I've always considered getting one (instead of top-of-camera-flash) to shoot Parr-ish close-ups.
I wonder what camera he's using?

As a guess, a Hasselblad, as these account for the vast majority of professional square format SLR photographs. It will be a SLR, as all other finder mechanisms tend to be obscured by ring flashes...

Ignore It (It'll go away)
So have I. I've always liked that flat even lighting.
I wonder if Friedlander has used this type of flash for some of his MF exterior work. A lot of it has that 'fill flash' look.

From what I've been told, he uses a flash always--outdoors too. There was some cool footage of him on YouTube--don't know if it's still there--shooting on a road trip. The flash was on some bracket that positioned it a good foot or so above the camera.

He has used those ring lights since way back (see Nudes & Factory Valleys), even to the early party pictures from the sixties.

Yes, I've noticed his use of flash. The famous shot of the back of a woman's head in NYC as well as his recent book where he shoots out of car windows where the interior of the cars are so well exposed - had to be done with a flash unless he is now into HDRing his photos in Photoshop.
