Does anybody know if I can use a slave flash to do something like this or does the strobe have to be attatched to the camera when using a slave? I guess i'm just a little confused on how they work

That picture would have used a slave. Beasically, you plug your flash into the hotshoe of the slave or use a pc sync cable and plug a transmitter into your camera's hotshoe. Radio slaves are a million times better than optival slaves. They can even be had for a decent price. This is a link to the one I use.
