In the realm of professional photography, and those amateur wanting professional results, when photographing people, the illumination devices must be located directly above and on the centerline of the camera lens. This is the desired effect as not to have shadows behind the subjects. Changing from landscape to portrait modes, currently requires the re-adjustment of the illumination devices to bring them in line with the camera. In photographing people, the instant does not wait for the photographer to ready his equipment, rather the photographer must be able to adapt quickly. There exists many different kinds illumination devices that are necessary for proper illumination of photographic subjects, in particular people. There also exists cameras that utilize digital imaging technology that senses through the camera lens for exactitudes of distance and amount of ambient light. Even though the technology is vast, there is no camera that can sense it's planar projection and transfer that information to illumination devices, so that only those illuminating devices that will produce the most desired effects will operate along with the camera, while those other devices that are not needed for the most desired effects will not operate. In this invention, there is not only a device that incorporates a multi-angular platform apparatus for the illumination devices, for the camera and for the through the lens data interface but it also incorporates the ability to rapidly change illumination device triggering based the planar orientations of the camera while maintaining proper illumination effects. In this invention, only those devices that will produce the desired photographic effects are triggered to operate, while those that will not produce the desired photographic effect will not operate. This invention is also transferable to all cameras that trigger illumination devices.
