Photography lighting

Photography lighting refers to how light is used to illuminate a subject and create the desired mood or effect in a photograph. It involves controlling the direction, quality, color, and intensity of light, whether natural (like sunlight) or artificial (like studio lights). Proper lighting highlights details, adds depth, and influences the overall atmosphere. Skilled photographers manipulate these elements to ensure their images are visually compelling, whether by softening shadows, emphasizing textures, or creating dramatic contrasts. Effective lighting is essential for capturing images that communicate emotion, clarity, and visual interest.
