photoflashes
Brief bright illuminations
Photoflashes are brief, intense bursts of light used in photography to illuminate subjects.
The term refers both to the light itself and to the devices that produce it—from old-fashioned flashbulbs to modern electronic flash units.
The photoflashes from the paparazzi lit up the red carpet.
