Strobe
A strobe is a flash-fueled light source commonly used in studio environments to provide short, intense bursts of illumination. In e-commerce, strobes are typically used with modifiers such as softboxes to achieve even, high-quality lighting for product and model shots.
Strobes are most often employed in controlled studio setups where consistent, repeatable lighting is required; they pair well with modifiers to shape and soften light. Pertinent equipment includes softboxes and camera arms within a studio setup.
Pro Tip
Pro tip: Pair strobes with modifiers like softboxes to soften and even out light for clean, sale-ready product and model photos.
Use Cases
Use strobes when you need strong, controllable bursts of light for product or model photography and when consistent, repeatable illumination is important for e-commerce imaging.
