Harold 'Doc' Edgerton
Before Edgerton Camera Flashes were chemical, bright but hard to control. Edgerton watching a overloading warning light, noticed how the fast flickering light (the damaged light was flashing at up to 6o times a second.) appeared to freeze movements. He had invented the strobe a bright bulb triggered by electricity that gave light bright enough and in a short enough burst to freeze movement. The shutter was slow but the flickering bright light delivered multiple images on the same print
