In this video, I show you how I mix strobes and continuous lights in the studio to get the best of both worlds. I walk through when and why to combine these light sources, how to balance exposure between them, and practical tips for avoiding common issues like overpowered strobes or motion blur. You’ll see my setup in action using Nanlite continuous lights and a Profoto strobe to create dynamic, colorful results—plus how to use techniques like shutter drag for creative motion effects.
