multiple flash photography

this is a form of photography where a subject is photographed in movement as a bright flash is set off to capture the movement. for this technique you need a long exposure of around 4 seconds and a flash speed of around 1/125 and an aperture of 22. the flash need to go off multiple times to get multiple stages of motion in the photo. you would also need a light source directly above the subject which could either be in a soft box or on a hot-shoe (attached a radio transmitter that sends a signal to the lights and causes them to flash) and a black background.
