A key factor in photography:Lighting

In the world of light, there are various types of light, each with its unique characteristics:

Natural Light: This is the most common type of light, divided into sunlight and skylight.

Skylight provides additional light during the day, enriching the composition.

Reflected Light: Illuminating objects through reflection, its brightness depends on the texture and color of the reflecting surface. This type of light can create dramatic effects on different surfaces, offering photographers rich creative possibilities.

Led Light: Includes artificial light sources such as flashlights, desk lamps, cob lights, etc. This is an LED photography light. Artificial light is controllable, allowing for manual adjustment of brightness and color temperature, making it an essential tool for creating creative works. The use of flashlights can capture clear images in low-light conditions, while desk lamps can create a warm atmosphere.
