slow sync flash

slow sync flash


slow sync flash is a technique where the subject is frozen in motion by the flash, with a transparent silhouette of them in motion. you will need a modelling light and a snoot to direct a strong light. you also need a dark background so that it isn't visible.



this is a piece of equipment we used called a snoot. it is used to allow the photographer to control the radius and direction of the light source when photographing a subject. in this scenario, it was used to direct the model light (a halogen and tungsten bulb that produces a strong light).

 the camera settings are as follows:
shutter speed of 2 seconds
ISO of 800
light meter reading of 5.6
F8


here are some examples of this technique






























overall, i enjoyed this technique and am interested in the result it produced. i would like to use this in my project as i think it would be interesting to experiment with shadows.
