Absolutely, because there is less time and thus fewer photons to create the image on whatever substrate (film or electronic) is being used. We were using a 10,000 fps camera (kid's stuff compared to the cameras mentioned here) and had to place a friggin SUN next to them to get viewable images - I cannot imagine how much light (and thus heat) must be needed for these cameras to get the images they did...

Intensity of light increases as the shutter speed increases, I believe.

This is highly cool. They rent these cameras every once in a while in our test lab to show bat deflection upon ball impact - you'd be amazed at the intensity of light that you need to get a visible image.
