Continuous Lighting:

• Provides a constant light source that allows you to see exactly how the light falls on your subject in real-time.
• Ideal for beginners or those who prefer a more straightforward approach to lighting.
• Often used in studio settings where precise control over lighting conditions is necessary.
• Can be natural light from sources like windows or artificial light from continuous lighting equipment such as LED panels or tungsten lights.
• Gives you the ability to adjust the intensity and direction of the light to suit your needs.

Flash Photography:

• Utilizes brief bursts of intense light produced by a flash unit to illuminate the subject.
• Offers more control over the direction, intensity, and timing of the light compared to continuous lighting.
• Popular choice for outdoor photography, where natural light may be insufficient or when you need to freeze motion.
• Can be mounted on the camera or used off-camera for more creative lighting effects.
• Requires knowledge of flash settings and techniques to achieve desired results effectively.

When choosing between continuous lighting and flash photography, consider factors such as the shooting environment, desired aesthetic, and level of control you need over the lighting conditions. Experimenting with both techniques can help you determine which works best for your specific needs and preferences.
