Orbis ring flash snaps Pamela Anderson at New Zealand Fashion week The orbis came to the rescue at New Zealand Fashion week when visiting celebrity and ‘fashion muse’ Pamela Anderson’s PR people issued a word-of-mouth decree that only photographers using ring flash would be allowed into her press conference!
