A ring light assembly, comprising:

• a first arcuate member and a second arcuate member, the first arcuate member being attached to the second arcuate member to form a circle with a center opening;
• the first arcuate member comprising a first arcuate section and a second arcuate section, the first arcuate section having a first end and a second end, the second arcuate section having a first end and a second end, the first end of the first arcuate section being connected to the second end of the second arcuate section;
• a plurality of first light sockets attached to the first arcuate member;
• the second arcuate member comprising a third arcuate section and a fourth arcuate section, the third arcuate section having a first end and a second end, the fourth arcuate section having a first end and a second end;
• the first end of the fourth arcuate section being connected to the second end of the third arcuate section;
• a plurality of second light sockets attached to the second arcuate member;
• an electric line adapted to connect the plurality of first and second light sockets to a power source;
• the second end of the first arcuate section being connected to the first end of the third arcuate section by a first latch;
• the first end of the second arcuate section being connected to the second end of the fourth arcuate section by a second latch;
• each of the first, second, third and fourth arcuate sections having a radius of at least about 12 inches, the diameter of the ring light assembly being at least about 24 inches;
• wherein the first, second, third and fourth arcuate sections are aligned in sequence to form the circle, and the first light sockets and the second light sockets are positioned on the exterior of the first and second arcuate members, wherein each light socket comprises a screw-in socket and a bulb inserted in each light socket, the bulbs being oriented in the same direction and at a right angle relative to the first and second arcuate members to focus light on a subject removed from the ring light assembly, the ring light assembly being useable with a camera shooting through the center of the ring light assembly to erase shadows from a subject being photographed.
