Give a brief description of the movement, photographer, or term you researched. How are they significant to the history of photography (50-75 words)?

In short, Artificial Light Photography, is photography using a flash. While the main purpose is to illuminate a dark scene, it can also be used to capture moving objects. Flash has come along since it's first premier as a flash bulb, including now using LED lights. While using a flash can be beneficial, it also has it's draw backs, including the infamous "red eye".


Write a short personal reaction to the movement, photographer or term you researched. What is interesting or not interesting about the work (50 – 75 words).

As with photography as whole, is interesting to me see how far it's come. We no measure the exact time, and amount of light given (intensity) , to get the desired image. However, when I'm on the other side of the camera (not taking the photo's) a flash can be quite bothersome. Smiling for a camera repeatedly can be hard in it's self, not getting a migraine from a repeating ( and sometimes rapid) flash, can be overwhelming.
