The ABCs of LED Lighting

While many photographers have grown up – and grown comfortable – shooting with traditional electronic flash units, a growing number of shooters are finding that LED lighting provides some advantages

Unlike traditional photographic lighting based on flashes, LED lights are ‘always on’ and provide constant illumination.  Having a continuous LED light source may prove beneficial to your subjects when shooting.  When using traditional flash, your subjects’ eyes will continually respond by dilating and constricting due to the flashes of light.  This continued impact of light can result in headaches and can become generally uncomfortable.  It can have an impact on expression and overall mood over time.

LED Lights have also proven themselves to be extremely versatile for photographers that work on both still and video projects.  The right LED light can move between portrait photography and product video promotion as part of an overall lighting strategy.
