Will higher usable ISO create a resurgence of small Strobes vs Monolights?

As an event and  commercial photographer base in West Palm Beach, FL, I’m continuously replacing old gear with new to increase productivity. Well, yesterday I began searching for a new set of studio strobes as ours are… let’s just say… getting at bit long in the tooth!

Jumped head first into researching which of today’s monolights was not only high quality but also were the best bang for the buck. While reading reviews and of course asking friends and fellow professional photographers, @trevorcurrent, @photojack, @lensflare35, @newmediaphoto, just to name a few, on Twitter — my second home. Quickly it became apparent that this cross section of well-recognized Pros would have answers as diverse as the style of photography they worked in. From Alien Bee to ProFoto and everything in between!

Was I asking the right questions or was there something else that I should be focusing on?

After speaking with Trevor Current of currentphotographer.com , fellow photographer and Podcaster; his answer struck a chord: “…since I shoot mainly small product photography I only need small lights and simply use a couple of 25 watt Lowel Ego compact color balanced fluorescents.”

Now, having allot of experience as professional commercial photographer I immediately questioned him as to how the heck was he shooting with such a small lighting setup?

He simply explained “… I’m shooting around f20 at ISO 2,000 with my 5DmkII and the images look great with very little noise!”

His respond caused an epiphany of sorts and a few new question pop into mind:

Q: As the “useable” camera ISO migrates north will more professionals migrate away from the heavier, less portable and much more expensive monolights in preference of smaller less powerful portable strobes?

and even more importantly…

Q: Will expensive high-powered studio strobe pricing decrease as usable ISO increases?

If you’re a commercial photographer or simply into photography for that matter, we want to hear from you! Thanks for taking the time to contribute!

West Palm Beach Professional Fine Art Photographer

Art Gallery / Exhibition / Licensable Print Photography

“Ripples Of Color” by Joseph Cristina Professional Gallery Exhibit Photography Fine Art Kio Fish

This shot I like; the bold colors and textures draw my eye right to it in your gallery. — Primal Rhythms Photography

“Miami Exposure” by Joseph Cristina Professional Gallery Exhibit Photography Fine Art Miami City Shoreline Landscape Photography

“The Wait” by Joseph Cristina Professional Gallery Exhibit Photography Fine Art Street Photography

I like this Joe! The framing of the shot is good and I see where you are going with the bird! The shot (as should all shots) either tells a story or provokes a question. What is he waiting for and what is he looking at? The bird, facing the same direction is also looking at something. What could it be? I like the light as well its rather dramatic and somehow enforces time behind the image. ”How long has he been waiting for?” < if you get my meaning! — maxamphoto

I really love this capture. It’s dramatic in b/w and I love the high contrast. The old man waiting tells a story all by itself. I like the bird but it’s too bad he isn’t more in the frame with more space behind him. Minor detail. Very strong image!  – Julie Magers Soulen

I can’t believe this is a photo as it doesn’t even look real it’s so perfect. photography is a gift and one i wish i had. it’s fabulous. i really love the way you have your logo on the back wall. looks like it belongs there! — mishuinc

I’ve been compiling a large group of various visions I have had for a Gallery Exhibition that will take place next year. I am so thankful that my work allows me to continue to produce images that tell a different story for each who studies them. More Gallery Prints coming soon. (as I find time to place them online) You comments are always welcome and very much so appreciated. You may comment here or on my flickr account.
