Pros and Cons of Using LED Lighting for Studio Photography
Can LEDs really match up to studio flash? Find out in this illuminating class.
Among photographers seeking continuous light sources, LED lights have become a popular choice. But are they really superior to studio flash for all types of photography?
In this photography workshop, recorded LIVE at Visual Education HQ, Karl takes you through the pros and cons of using continuous LED lighting in the studio.
To demonstrate the challenges of working with LEDs, Karl undertakes a product shoot with an eye-catching Converse shoe. Though he achieves a striking final image, the hard work and meticulous adjustments required to do so reveals the limitations of these lights – and enables Karl to make a compelling case for his preferred studio flash alternatives.
