Sure you can! I don’t recommend it. The number one reasons are heat and fire. You’re going to be having somebody that doesn’t know how to shoot in a strobe light environment, and they’re going to shoot 40 photos–that’s 40 flashes–in five to six minutes. Strobe lights–that’s a lot of abuse, and when they go, they actually go because of heat, and they fuse to the assembly so now you have the risk of fire. The strobe has failed. Your studio is shut down while you have to order a new strobe light.
So, to answer your question, you can add a strobe absolutely to our studio. We have a dealer group in Minnesota that does a great job with strobes, but they have a professional photographer training their staff. They have five or six of our studios, and every one of them has strobes. They have a strobe above the cloth. They have strobes mounted into the overhang.
I don’t recommend it. It’s too difficult. The light is too soft. Look at photos shot in a soft light environment. They look fake. That’s exactly what strobes will do.
To answer your question, I don’t recommend strobes, but hey, this is your studio. Do anything you want.
FAQ
Can I use strobe lights in a 360Booth®?
Yes, it’s your studio, but 360Booth doesn’t recommend it.
Why doesn't 360Booth recommend strobes?
A typical shoot means dozens of flashes in a few minutes, which creates heat and failure risk, and a failed strobe can shut the studio down until it’s replaced. Strobes also produce soft light that can make cars look fake, and they work best with a trained professional photographer.
