Photography Lighting Tutorial- Strip Lighting Light Tec Tip

thanks :)

the camera flash should not produce more power than your studio lights, therefore it should not put out a significant amount of light that would affect the studio light because the studio light should be producing more power and it would be causing the true exposure.

yes you can do this with a soft box and you will need to bring it pretty far to the side. the farther to the side the light position will determine the degree of light fall off. dont forget the the strip light is a very narrow piece of light therefore the fall off is much easier accomplished. where the box is much wider and more difficult but should be able to be done.

If I don't feel like renting, or shelling out the $800-900 for an Elinchrome 6' strip, could I achieve the same effect by using a 6' softbox and feathering its right edge on the left side of the model's body?

do i need to use the flash on my camera when using studio lighting like that or do i just let the camera use the studio lights ? I keep thinking the camera flash will wash out any studio light.
