A strobe light or stroboscopic lamp, commonly called a strobe, is a device used to produce regular flashes of light. A modeling light is a continuous light source - usually a tungsten bulb, a quartz-halogen bulb, or an LED - located in proximity to a flash tube. The purpose of a modeling light is to allow a photographer to visually a sense of the lighting effect the flash, when it fires, will create. A soft box is nothing more than a light modifier. A soft box diffuses the light into a pleasing soft, even light. When used properly, it reduces harsh shadows. A reflector is any platform that reflects light. It can be used to bounce, diffuse, or flag natural and artificial light. A gray card is a middle gray reference, typically used together with a reflective light meter, as a way to produce consistent image exposure and/or color in film and photography. A radio trigger system is a wireless transmitter that tells the strobe to flash. It can be used when shooting portraits in dark rooms.
