Strobe

A powerful flash unit used in studio photography.

What is strobe?

A strobe is a studio flash that produces a brief, powerful burst of light when triggered. Strobes offer more power than continuous lights, freeze motion, and stay cool. They are standard in professional product photography. Strobes require synchronization with the camera shutter.

Pro tips

Use modeling lights to preview flash placement

Set shutter to sync speed (typically 1/200 or 1/250)
