flash photography
Burst-lit image capture
Flash photography is the technique of using a brief, intense burst of artificial light to illuminate a subject while taking a photograph.
The flash compensates for low ambient light or freezes fast motion, though it can produce harsh shadows or unnatural highlights if used carelessly.
Many venues prohibit flash photography because the bright pulses can damage delicate artworks, disturb performers, or annoy other patrons.
The museum signs clearly stated no flash photography.
