Strobe triggers, what's what @ Lensrentals blog
Radio-signal triggers are useful for long-range triggering. Radio triggers are becoming more and more popular, and for good reason. They generally work very reliably and have a much longer range than infrared triggers. Depending on which type you choose, they can be used with
both hotshoe flashes as well as studio lighting. While all of them allow shooting in manual modes, there are some that allow for TTL/E-TTL triggering, as well as a few that actually allow full control of lights from the on-camera trigger itself.
With nearly all of the types we carry, you do need a commander for the camera and a receiver for each light. This makes the initial cost of radio triggers more than infrared triggers, but the gain in range, reliability, and flexibility could make up for that, depending on what you’re shooting.

Makeover in reverse: Boxers, before and after the match.
Danish photographer Nicolai Howalt is among other things, also known for the grittiness in some of his previous work. On this occasion, he puts a human face on it, and a backstory that deals with dreams, sex, and identity, to match.
Although the 'Boxer" series and consequent book were originally presented back in 2003, it has now been re-edited and republished by HJØRRING of Denmark.
The book contains 78 diptych portraits of moderately to heavily smashed up amateur Boxers and their stories. The preface is written by author Edward Bunker (Dog eat dog, Little Boy Blue). The photographs are also available at Howalts own online gallery.
