What is shutter speed?
It’s the speed at which the shutter of the camera closes. A fast shutter speed creates a shorter exposure (the amount of light the camera takes in), a slow shutter speed gives the photographer a longer exposure.
A faster shutter speed allows less light to pass into the camera sensor. Inversely, a lower/slower shutter speed allows more light to pass into your camera.
