PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS FOR YOU:
The amount of light you use in your photography is essential in creating a mood or personality. When you are inside a studio, for example, you can experiment with lighting fixtures that feature a variety of light levels, flash lighting and other manipulations to get the right look. There are amazing tools on the market today to help you get the perfect light for your shot. Lighting allows you to create soft shadows, brilliant colors, moody effects and more. This takes practice and as you become familiar with what works, it gets easier over time. If you are taking photos outside, natural lighting is your friend. The time of day will provide different amounts of light for you to experiment with and master. For example, it is best to position your product or model towards natural light. If a person is your model, pose them away from looking into the sunlight. It will cause them to squint and possible unwanted shadows.
