What are the two types of studio lighting?

For a photography studio there seems to be two main types of light; strobe and continuous. Continuous lights are called "hot lights". Strobe lighting has a very powerful flash, but no heat. There are also Tungsten lights, LED, fluorescent, HMI, Stage and studio, dj lights, moon lights, and portable lights.


Is it better to use a reflector or a barndoor?

In simple terms, it depends on the subject matter and the desired effect. Barn doors are used with strobes to concentrate the light output, which tends to harshen shadows unless they are used strictly as hair lights that don't fall on the background. Reflectors are used to fill in shadows and provide subtle fill that would be difficult to replicate with a strobe and barn doors. Reflectors are easiest to use with daylight (especially for outdoor portraits) where the effect can be pre-determined. You might be able to provide fill light with a strobe and no doors, but it would have to be capable of very controlled output.

What creates soft shadows in photography?

Sharp shadows are indicators of 'sharp', high-contrast producing lighting. A relatively small light source will produce a sharp shadow regardless of intensity. The son and the moon are large, but are relatively small sources of light. On a bright, clear day you can hold your hand out and cast a shadow of your hand on the ground that is sharp enough to see the fingers. On a bright, clear night you can hold your hand out and cast a shadow of your hand on the ground that is sharp enough to see the fingers against a light surface. Inside, the exact same idea applies. The flash on a camera is a tiny, almost point light source. It always creates sharp shadows. The angle from lens to subject and back to flash is usually very small. A light source never 'sees' the shadows it creates, regardless of how sharp they are. On a clear day or night as the sun or moon is setting, you can minimize the shadows by making sure the light source is behind you as well as you can and that the subject is not too near another object to reveal its shadow. If you were on the moon, the sun would still appear as a small light source. When the relatively small object of the Earth got between you and the tiny light source, it would very quickly become very dark. If you are on Earth for the same occurrence you see the sharp shadow of the planet you are on eclipsing the moon.
