Long exposure is a well-known method used by photographers, especially under difficult lighting conditions, to improve images that would otherwise be undesirably dark. However, this technical approach can be extended with the addition of a flashlight, which can offer new perspectives and open up creative possibilities.
For this tutorial, you will need a flash, whether it is a studio or a practical hand-held flash. By integrating this technical lighting kit into your shoot, it is possible to bring the main subject of your image into sharp focus while combining it with artistically captured movement through long exposures.
With this approach, it is important to note that the flash must fire automatically at the end of the exposure to achieve the best results. This is known as rear sync or second/slow curtain flash. This technique can be used in many areas and is especially popular in dance photography to convey a sense of movement.
