Strobist - Off Camera!

Jargon in a flash.

Jargon in a flash

Strobist - A Catch all term for any technique where flash is combined creatively with ambient lighting.

This is wrong.

Strobist is the technique of using flash "Off-Camera"
Its as simple as that. Whether or not you blend the ambient with the flash is irrelevant.

Strobist is a registered trademark, according to the little R in a circle on David Hobby's blog It's all about small flashguns used off camera, with or without ambient light.

I think David Hobby is THE Strobist; others who call themselves Strobists merely follow his doctrine. Or something like that.
