Camera Settings for Strobes

Hey everyone! Thanks for bearing with us as we get back into the groove of things. :) That post-holiday slump is no joke, haha! I wanted to get into the topic of camera settings because it's one of those things that certainly took a bit to get used to when it came to studio work.

As you all know very well, many of us end up learning a lot of what we know by experience and many, many mistakes. I vividly remember a time in college when I was shooting a fashion editorial in a commercial studio and I went into panic mode because I couldn't figure out why my images had this crazy banding going on. Eventually, I discovered that the reason my images weren't looking so hot was because my shutter speed was too fast for the strobes.

Shooting in studio is very different from shooting with natural light so I wanted to go over some of the settings that I personally like to use when photographing in a creative space with studio lighting.
