Studio lighting
Continuous lighting
This means not using flash; instead its having lights constantly lit compared to the flash being activated when taking the picture. When using continuous lighting you use a slow shutter speed for example 1 second. Usually the photograph will have shadows and the camera is set up on a tripod. When experimenting i used a product table for my objects with an infinity curve in the background. Continuous lighting is often referred as ‘low key’. This is an example:
Flash lighting
Flash lighting is the opposite of continuous lighting. It creates less shadows and needs a high shutter speed, when using flash lighting its more efficient to use a tripod to keep the camera in place and steady. This is known as high key.
