Studio lighting can be used in many ways to change an images light.

Continuous lighting is when the lights are constantly on before and after taking the photo. This can create an overall lighting that is not harsh but soft.

However flash lighting is when the shutter goes off, the lights flash on and off to capture the light when the camera takes the photo.

An example of continuous lighting is this photo I took in the studio with studio lights. Colour screens were used to cover the main light source to create colourful photos. These photos have a ‘soft’ feeling about them from the light.

However here is a photo from using flash lighting. Colour screens can’t be used for this technique, but overall the image seems brighter and the lighting seems stronger.
