Part C: EQUIPMENT > Studio Flash

Chapter 13. Studio Flash

While any kind of flash equipment can be used in a studio setting, the term "studio flash" generally refers to large, non-portable flash equipment that is powered by household AC current. Large, expensive, and daunting, studio gear has always represented something of an impenetrable barrier between the amateur and the professional. The jump from battery-powered flash to studio flash has traditionally been one fraught with mystery and governed by studio apprenticeships. Equipment was expensive, difficult to use, and hard to learn.

KEY POINT

Automated TTL or E-TTL metering cannot be used with studio flash equipment. Manual metering is the order of the day.
