what's the difference between lights that are always on and lights with flash that are in-sync with the camera. I'm just looking into these so i'm not well-versed in these things. thanks!

Hello, I'm new to the hobby myself but have researched a lot. "Flash" photography, done with either a studio strobe or a speedlight, Uses powerful light that is able to meet or rival the sunlight so that you can evenly expose both background and foreground outside. They also offer more versatility in their adjustable power levels and temperature (shades of white light). You'll notice these setups are in dark studio environments. The lights would be close to useless outside or in a brightly lit studio. Continuous light can provide light to be shaped only in the absence of other light. Strobes are so bright that if you expose for them, the photo would look pitch black without their light even in a bright room! Because the light is so strong, you're also able to use faster shutter speeds and lower ISO which helps produce a sharper, clearer image.

@user-dj2dr9py6c My Pleasure! I've been doing loads of flash photography since then and I'd say the biggest difference is flash photography will allow you to ignore all other lighting conditions in the room and always-on (or "continuous" lighting) will be affected by all light sources. If you use flash, it's string enough that you can set your camera exposure to be so insensitive that it won't pick up anything but the flash. So if there are different color lights on the desk or sunlight coming in through a window, it won't matter. In this way, you will have complete control of how light is hitting your subject no matter the time of day. I can photograph in the middle of the day and make it look like night if I wanted (and do). A studio strobe is more powerful but more cumbersome. It will allow you to match the sun, like I mentioned, and position the light far from your subject for wider shots. For portraits it's almost unnecessary and a speedlight (regular flash) is likely all you need. Becuaee flash and strobes pop an instant bright light, they are good at freezing action, even in lowlight conditions. Continuous light offers the advantage of being able to see how light will look on the subject at all times. Other lights are also able to affect the subject, like suppose you do want the desk lights to show up on her face. The continuous lights are usually not designed to be as bright as flash and strobe nor can they be since they are always on- it should be much too bright and hot! Continuous light is useful if you are doing a mix of photography and video or if you are in a situation where you need to instantly know how the shot will look. The downside is it cannot freeze motion as well and unless you are lit brightly you may nit be able to use the ultra low ISO of a flash. After mastering a degree of flash and feeling confident, I'm now looking at small portable LEDs since I do a lot of outdoor evening and night portraits as well as some video shoots. Also, flash is more intrusive and some conditions may not be suitable for it, like at an indoor event or in public where there's bound to be some asshole having a bad day.

So I just bought the neewer light photo kit. Set it up and was about to take pictures. My pictures was not white as shown on their Amazon website. But after watching this I realize I was not using bit soft light I was using one umbrella and one soft light. I will trying again tonight without using the umbrella. Thanks so much for this video. I work all day and can only shoot my eBay listing pictures at night

Would be good to know the camera settings so we can estimate the power of the lights. This would have to include how much exposure was added in post, also. Even high end constant lights suffer from lack of output calling for wife apertures, slow sheet speeds, and high ISO's. None of these are deal breakers but the info is needed to make a good buying decision.

These lights are only useful in settings where ambient light is low or non existent. I'd wager a strobe would drown these out entirely if you had the strobe set bright enough to do what they're usually meant for.

@hypop

We'd definitely suggest using an entry level camera if possible. Most camera apps from phones such as the iPhone will automatically adjust the settings and with an entry level camera you're able to control the settings a little better. Perhaps something like the Canon 1500D or a mirrorless camera (if you have more budget) such as the Sony A6000.

Perfect for beginner like me🥰

It really depends what type of shots you're after. If a lot of cropped body and head shots a 50mm lens is great. Being a prime lens you'll be forced to move around to recompose your shot so the distances will vary depending on the type of shot you want.

So which is better, soft bix o umbrella?

Does the edge of the light hold up the tent middle? It seems to be tucked in under the cube edge at the top? A video showing how the light tent is assembled would be great!

There are three softboxes in total, two that are on short light stands on either side of the tent, and a third softbox that just sits on top (with no stand). That basically encloses the tent with light, then the white material of the tent further diffuses the light for a nice soft look in your photos.

Hey Dustin, yes, generally you want to black out other lights for consistency and control. If you have lights such as ceiling lights and natural light coming through windows this will affect the result of your images and you'll probably end up with conflicting shadows and light temperatures. The only time you might not need to blackout your shooting space is when you have a light that's powerful enough to overpower ambient light - lights that are powerful enough are generally achievable on a budget if you go for flashes or strobes instead of continuous lights.

nice set of "beginner" kits, but what if you wanted the same, but with FLASH, and NOT continuous light?, does GODOX offer anything in this space?, that is the flash,triggers, light stand,some modifiers, and a bag to put it all in, all in the one kit, not having to buy extra accessories to use the system. this is a confusing thing to do, so having some "recomended" kits guides us as to what genre of photography is best for what flash, and modifier options.

Ok, I am not a professional photographer, so I know only what little, what very little you told us about the lights themselves. One thing I noticed that you tactfully avoided how and where do the lights derive their operating power. Do you just plug them into the wall outlet or do have to use some special device to provide that power ?
