Importance Of Photography Lighting

By Mavic Best


Amateurs and professional photographers alike ask themselves what makes photographs great. Serious photographers - no matter how expert they become at their craft through years of experience - will most probably keep on asking themselves about this matter.

If the basis for a great photograph would be the people's opinion, for certain the old adage that says "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" can be an acceptable answer. But people's opinion change with time, as we all know. Hence, this may not be accepted as a final and absolute answer.

True, there are several variables that can be used in determining what makes a great image. Master photographers (including singapore wedding photographers), however, can all have a consensus that there are a few constant reference points that will help determine what makes a picture perfect.

Photography lighting is one of these few critical factors in producing a great picture. This particular photography element can transform even the most mundane subject interesting and captivating. Because of this, it is not surprising that photography lighting serves as a fundamental element in different fields of photography - from still life to portraiture, from forma to photojournalistic.

Once a photographer learns how to use proper lighting, he can make great images utilizing just any type of light source. This indicates how essential lighting really is in photography.

In studio photography, lighting is a factor that will test how creative and skilled the photographer is. It's a common knowledge that studio photographers principally rely on artificial light. Hence, studio photographers have to display real talent on how to control and manipulate the light that comes from different lighting equipment so they can get their desired result.

However, it is not appropriate to believe that studio photographers, with all their modern range of artificial lighting technology, are expert than outdoor photographers. The latter - however it can be tempting to believe that they simply depend on luck - demands lighting skills that are different from indoor photography.

Indoor photographers need to understand the science of electric lighting technology, while outdoor photography needs broad knowledge on both sun's seasonal and diurnal effect as well as the ability to predict the weather.
