    Another question, what would be a safe or ideal camera set up in terms to aperture or speed to achieve photos like this on a white bg without having blurry feet or hands due to motion?

    • you need a short flash duration
      ********
    • probably 1/2000th of a sec of shorter
      ********
    • pardon my ignorance, but wtf does that mean and how can I achieve it or get close to it? Thanks btwOSFA
    • short answer is: buy/rent/borrow some serious lighting equipment ): although you can experiment with a shoemount flashbigtrickagain
    • flash - you won't be able to duplicate this image very easily with only a shoemount though.bigtrickagain
    • Usually the lower you dial down the power on your strobe, the shorter your flash duration will be.Tungsten
    • You want the fastest flash sync speed your camera allows. Usually 160 to 250 depend o. Which camera you have.pango
    • If you go to the strobe manufacture's website. They will tell you the duration of the strobe.pango
