Ever wonder, “How’d they do that?” well wonder no more. Strobox shows you how they did it with detailed lighting diagrams.
The Problem
Lighting is one of the key factors to consider when taking a good photo. And even though we all know a great shot when we see one, it’s often difficult to understand just how it was lit. Until now, photos didn’t come with details of the lighting scheme.
Our Solution
Strobox is a place for all types of photographers to share how they set up that amazing photo! The easiest way to learn is to look at photos and their lighting diagrams so you can see for yourself how they were created.
Goal we are hoping to achieve
We believe in sharing knowledge. Strobox is designed to do just that—provide a space for photographers to share and learn professional lighting techniques. Our hope is that everyone can gain insight into the great work of contemporary top-class photographers from all over the world. When you learn something, we’ve done well.
I say, way to go Strobox and thanks for the cool looking resource!

In Japan (late 90′s), many of the magazines used to have step by step instructions (often dozens of frame by frame images) showing exactly how to do things. Things like blow drying hair, jump roping, dance, dressing, waxing a surfboard, etc. It felt like paint by numbers. (One of my old clients was a producer for these magazines, and I used to shoot roll after roll of these *how to* frames).
Digital imaging culture today reminds me of this Japanese (mediated) culture.
Can you imagine Duchamp, Warhol, Beethoven, or Penn developing their art in this fashion?
Thank you so much for featuring us! Glad to see that our late night work has been valued. I really hope to see your photos there, too!
