Strobe Lighting for Product Photography - Continuous vs Strobe - THE RESULTS!
Strobe lighting can be really daunting and intimidating if you've never used it before or have no idea what a strobe light is. And you might be wondering about continuous lighting vs strobe lighting for photography and what the difference is! In this video, I'm giving you a very basic breakdown of what a strobe light is (off camera flash) and the results you can achieve with a strobe light when it comes to your home studio lighting setup. I hope these product photography tips will help you decide whether or not you want to invest in a strobe light especially if you DIY photoshoot at home. There are so many product photography lighting techniques and using a strobe can enhance your creativity.

Omg. I am so glad I found you. I swear CZcams can read minds 😅 (nervous laugh👀) 😂. Your videos are great, perfect timing. Thanks for being here and thanks for sharing.
Always look forward to your videos Amanda 💖
I’ve always always struggled with my continuous lighting and always wondered why I never managed to get those crisp and sharp images. Especially the even backgrounds. The only way around it, I felt, was shooting directly under the sun :/ but again, that’s no solution for the videos.
Really helpful! Thanks!!
thank you for this, I was looking into continuous lighting but this has convinced me to continue using my 2 x AD 200 Pro's for my product photography which I find work rather well
This is so helpful! As a beginner photographer who just started product photography and cant afford to buy continuous and strobe lighting, this helps so much. thank you!
So glad it was so helpful! 🤩
Thank you for this ms. Amanda!! Really helpful!
You’re so welcome! So glad you found it helpful! 😊
Hey lovely, loved the video, thanks a looooot
This is very helpful information. Is that the 24-105 mm you used in the video? Can you share what settings you used in light and camera, also the optimal distance between camera and subject? Thanks
Thank you for your help! subscribed!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! you don’t know how much my photography has improved by watching your AMAZING channel really thank you 🙏🏻🥺🤍🤍🤍🤍
Aw thank you so much!! That makes me so happy to hear they’ve been helpful! 🙏😊
@@amandacampeanu can I ask you what’s your remote shutter? and thank You 🙏🏻🤍
@@bieaye3233 it’s a Godox xpro for canon mount 😊
@@amandacampeanu thank you 🤍🤍🤍
Thx for the great video! It really helped
can you also compare strobe vs continuous with your camera on a tripod? Therefore you don't need to increase your ISO to brighten up the image, but simply increase shutter speed when shooting with continuous light to achieve the same amount of exposure...
can you do a tutorial explaining the best camera settings to match with your strobe lights? thanks so much!! love your videos!!
Do you have to use a remote shutter with the light as a strobe? :) which one do you use?
Thank you so much this video helps soooooo much ❤❤
You’re so welcome! ☺️
Great advice for lighting I also use canon camera
Can make a video on how to setup the trigger to the strobe light?
omg..... all these years I avoided strobes because I was getting blown out light and just couldnt seem to get it figured out and all I had to do was listen to you say playing with your aperture and I was like..... this all makes sense to me now.
Aw yay! So glad this video helped! I was very intimidated by strobes when I first started but couldn’t shoot without them now!
would you mind making a video on how getting rid of glares and reflections please?
This was a really great video (and you uploaded it as I was googling the FV150 - are you a psychic?). Do you mainly shoot strobe now for photography? how does the fv150 perform as a strobe in a dim setting?
Haha what a coincidence! I do yes 😊 I find it just gives me better results for the style of photography I do. I personally haven’t used it in a dim setting, it depends on the style you’re after. But you can easily adjust the brightness of your strobe depending on how bright you want it.
Great video, thanks!! Question: if you use a tripod, wouldn’t it be better to decrease your shutter speed instead of increasing ISO when the image's too dark?
Thank you so much! Definitely! I usually decrease my shutter speed if I need a tad more light. But even if I pumped up my iso on my Canon R5 it’s the same effect as the low light performance is great
When i want to make product photos of some shoes on a grey background, is it enough the have on the left and right side continuous light and from above strobe light ? or can you give me an advice for a better setup of the lights ?
what if we do glossy product or steel product ? whit strobe light i think its blown away ?
Just watch 2 videos from you. Wow factor!!
Would you recommend the Sk300ii ?
Hi Amanda, how do you deal with shadows when preparing the scene with a strobe light? Thanks 😘
Hey Benedetta! It’s a bit of trial and error. overtime you’ll start being able to identify where you might have to place an object or your light to create a specific shadow. But you won’t know what it looks like until you take the photo. 😊
Still thinking about switching to strobes, but tbh I always shoot with tripod, so I'm not sure I'll see much results. I only shoot static objects and can easily do high aperture at iso 100 by using long shutter speeds and continous lights. It's also way easier to get the lighting correctly while setting up, so I might regret switching over. Any advantages the strobes could still bring in this situation?
I totally had the same thoughts before I switched! But when I did I wondered why I didn’t do it sooner! Strobes are more powerful. I found I could push my aperture even higher to get more in focus which is a huge benefit. And I found the light was more even in my scene as well. To me, the more powerful the light the better. If you’re able to rent some strobes or head into a studio and test then out it’s a great way to see the results before you buy! But I highly recommend 🙌
I Have Godox SK400 What is the use of usb of socket My Request can u plz clear the question sir
Amazing ! Quick question, what camera are you using ? I see its Canon , but which model and which lens ? Thanks.
Camera is a canon 6D Mark II with a Canon L series 24-70m lens 😊
7:30 how about changing the exposure and closing the curtains...
Explains why I keep getting blue pollution into my product photos, and having a hard time getting a consistent white background. Luckily I still have two strobe lights, and will be giving them a shot.
Thank you, that was really helpful! What other strobe lights would you recommend? Thanks.
You’re so welcome! I haven’t really worked with too many other models and this one is the main one I work with so I can’t recommend any others unfortunately. It also depends on what your budget it.
@@amandacampeanu Thank you very much.😊
@@sumayyahabdulwaahid-saalih6033 speedlights. Godox are very good. Youngnuo very cheap for their quality. If you are rich then just get a Profoto strobe...
What lens and camera are you using? Also glad I found your channel.
Thank you! It’s a Canon 6D Mark II with a Canon L Series 24-70m lens 😊
Ho! Will your course always renewed? And is that course shows not just how to take pictures lighting ect but editing part to? Im interested in photoshop side, how to mask ect.
Hey! I am constantly updating my course with new content yes 😊 And you have lifetime access to the course once you purchase. The course will absolutely teach you how to edit. There are both Lightroom and Photoshop tutorials inside all related to product photography.
Do you need the Trigger control? if so... which one do you recommend for the Godox! Thanks =D
For flash yes! I use the Godox xpro for canon. The trigger will depend on your model of light and camera 😊
@@amandacampeanu Thanks! You are amazing!
What tri-pod are you using for the light ?
The light is just in a stand as opposed to a tripod. 😊
Hey Amanda, can you tell how u deliver the photos to clients?
I currently use Pixieset 😊
@@amandacampeanu Thank you !
Darn, I just watched another video of yours and was all set to get a godox sl60...
All depends on your budget! 😊
@@amandacampeanu I'm going to go with your upgrade in thinking about lighting and go with strobes. Makes sense. PS I like your accent. (Or is it we Americans who have the accent?)
@@vernongsnyder Great choice! Strobes are amazing 🤩 I couldn’t live without mine. Haha and thank you!
Would you ever or does anyone ever use bracketing for product photography?
What was your settings via strobe & camera
For strobe I usually keep my shutter at around 1/250, my iso at 100 and my aperture any where from 5-11 depending on the scene in shooting 😊
Do you use fv150 for splash photography too?
I do yes!
@@amandacampeanu wow, that’s amazing considering all of the reviews out there say that the fv 150 is too slow for freezing action. now I’m puzzled, bc I would love to have all the possibilities in one light :p
is the Godox MS300 strong enough to do this?
I haven’t personally used this model of light so I can’t comment unfortunately
@@amandacampeanu thanks for the reply! :)
what brand of make up were you using for your photo shoot? let me know
They’re called Poni Cosmetics 😊
@@amandacampeanu thanks for letting me know! :)
Are you 🧛🏻♀️?
I don't understand this....surely you can just decrease your shutter speed for product photography? The only time this would be an issue would be with moving subjects or shooting off tripod.
If you’re decreasing your shutter speed it can still introduce motion blur when you press the shutter button (even if your camera is on a tripod). Unless you use a remote trigger. But it’s not necessary to decrease your shutter speed so much. Typically 1/200 is a good spot for shooting products I find. But if you find it’s easier to decrease your shutter to introduce more light, then definitely do what suits you best when shooting 😊
