Hi Jeff,
I want to start using snoots and gobos in my studio, where I can cast a shadow or shape on my background and then use that with my model. What type of lighting should I use, a constant light or a strobe? Thanks

I’ve seen it done both ways, but I personally use strobes for that. One downside of constant lights is that it could get hot and possibly damage the modifier. Most constant lights are led and don’t get stop hot these days, but always an outlying concern. At the end of the day it really depends on the type of lighting you’re used to using.
