Flash Photography

Purpose

This policy is intended to inform individuals about the potential risks associated with the use of flash photography, particularly concerning individuals with photosensitive epilepsy. By using our services, you acknowledge and accept these risks.


Potential Risks

  • Photosensitive Epilepsy:
    Bright, flashing lights can trigger seizures in individuals with photosensitive epilepsy. This is a serious concern for a small percentage of the population.
    Users should exercise caution when using flash in environments where individuals with photosensitive epilepsy might be present.
  • Eye Sensitivity:
    While the use of flash and LED flash in photography typically does not pose significant health risks to the eyes, a sudden bright flash can cause temporary discomfort, dazzle, or irritation, particularly for individuals with light-sensitive eyes.
