Help! I need somebody! Lines on my photos

[Smedeiros]

Hello, could some kind soul help me? My photos are coming out with these vertical lines. I'm using Amaran LED lights. ISO is low. What could be happening?

Looks like LED banding - they control the brightness of the lights using pulse width modulation, so they vary in brightness over time. You are seeing the shutter moving across the image (looks like you are using a fairly slow shutter) - the lines are vertical because you shot this in portrait (they would be horizontal if you shot landscape).

You can read up on LED banding and ways to reduce it, but it's an artefact of how they give you control over the brightness of the light.
