Definition: Stroboscopic photography is a form of photography, consisting of a flashing strobe light and a camera with an open shutter. Stroboscopic photos work best in darkness as every time the strobe flashes, a still image is taken of a moving object at that instant, resulting in multiple exposures in one image.
The above image is courtesy of the-digital-picture.com and while I’m not interested in replicating that image I’m keen to give the method a go to see what results i can achieve with my Godox studio strobe and remote, a dark room and black backdrop, my daughter and my camera set on Bulb mode to get the exposure time.
The math and flash timings are as follows in the table below
Over the coming weeks i’ll be experimenting with exposures and ideas and props and posting the resulting images.
