Lens surrounding camera illumination system - has collapsible mirror array for directing light in direction permitting photography through orifices

摘要

Two mirrors are positionable around the lens of a camera for use in combination with flash so that the illumination provided by the mirrors are parallel to and proximate a line from the lens to a selected subject. This makes it possible to take photographs through an orifice such as the body orifices. The mirrors are collapsible into planar form so that they can be stored in an envelope when not in use. The first mirror is mounted at a given angle to a light source so as to direct light to the second mirror near the lens. The second mirror reflects the light in the required line direction and is removable to allow access to the lens.
