Photography can be done by anyone with relative ease. However, quality photography requires much
more skill and dedication than simply whipping out a phone and snapping a
picture. We discussed taking better pictures with the aid of a selfie stick in
an earlier blog post. Today we will take it another step further by introducing
the concept of lighting in photography.
How is lighting used
in photography?
If you try to take a picture at night, you will quickly
realize that your picture is dark and blurry at best even with flash on. This
highlights the significance of lighting when taking pictures. Without the proper lighting, a picture will
be dark, blurry, or just plain ugly. However, if you take a picture during the
day when the sun is out, the picture ends up being much more vibrant and
attractive than the dark and blurry one taken at night. Some people will
attempt to stand in different spots or angles in order to utilize the sun for
the best lighting and those pictures turn out way better.
If it is as simple as
lighting, why are there still so many bad pictures?
It can be difficult finding the correct angle for the
perfect amount of lighting using only sunlight.
Sometimes it is impossible because there is no sunlight at all. When
there is no lighting available, it is impossible for even the most experienced
professional photographers to take a beautiful radiant picture of anything.
Thankfully sunlight is not the only source of lighting as we can create
artificial lighting now.
How can we create
artificial lighting?
A soft box is a tool used by photographers to create
artificial lighting from a lamp. The
lamp is surrounded by at least one layer of material that spreads the light
evenly from the lamp. The material is normally translucent so the light from
the lamp can diffuse through it evenly.
