Types of Photography Lighting

As with the previous section, knowing immediately which types of
photography lighting are available to you, how they work, how to
use them to your advantage and which would suit the image best is
an acquired skill.

The ability to make an instant decision to use flash or not during
a wedding shoot is of paramount importance. The correct lighting
could make or break an all important shot. If in doubt, and if you
have time, do both, with and without flash.

Natural - Natural plus fill in flash - Flash - Ambient - Studio/Softbox

Types of Photography Lighting - Natural

Probably the most flattering form of lighting, perhaps because this
is the way we see most things and most people everyday.

I always try, when I am able, to make the most of any natural light
whether it is outdoors, indoors or just a shaft of light coming in
through a window, even if I have to bounce it using a reflector.

Types of Photography Lighting - Window Light

If shooting portraits of people or wedding portraits or church
scenes etc, try using any available daylight, even if it means
moving people to another room in their house. Diffused window light,
not direct beams of sunlight, can create a real sense of calm and
mood to an image.

Types of Photography Lighting - Outdoors

The worst type of natural light for portraiture is direct sunlight.
It can cause heavy lines and shadows as well as squinting and is
very unflattering. If you have no choice, spin the subject around
with the sunlight behind and fire away whilst exposing for the face.

Overcast days are perfect, especially for weddings (although not
for the couple) as many of your shots will be outdoors. The light
is nicely even and diffused and is most flattering for everyone,
much like using a great big softbox.
