Photography lighting

Light is one of the most important parts of taking a picture. A perfect picture requires good lighting whether it be natural or artificial, which are the two main types of light. Natural light is not as steady as artificial light depending on what it is like outside, but natural light in some ways is more pleasing than artificial light. Light can be directed to get desired shadows or lighter spots on the subject by moving the subject at different angles. Also, different lenses can increase or decrease the amount of light on a subject. The flash on a camera can also illuminate a subject when it is to dark and flash can be considered artificial light.
