I learned that Aaron Siskind’s work is dark and has many shadows. It has various shapes in all sizes. I like his work because it is something that I haven’t seen before.

Introduction to strobes

-a flash head contains flash tubes that emit light once supplied with high voltages.

-going to need more power to overcome the sun or light.

-reflector slides in and out along the head’s axis and locks in position to control the spread of light.

-strobe lights allow you to completely remove the reflector.

-c-stand is strong enough to hold backgrounds and seamless white paper with the lights.

– snoots are conical shaped tools that narrow the distribution of light.

– produce a very focused/harsh light.

-soft boxes come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

-white umbrellas offer a wider spread of reflected light.

-gold umbrellas produce warm tones
