Lighting Techniques For Digital Photography


Lighting Techniques For Studios - Portraits - Products 

No matter what type of photography you do, lighting will always be a huge factor in the outcome of your pictures. Realizing the importance of how light effects your photography sooner , rather than later, will ultimately determine the rate at which you become a more advanced photographer.

Because there are so many variables that determine the lighting techniques that you should use, it really is important that we understand EXACTLY how certain lighting techniques work to improve our photographs as well as create desired effects.Light can be reflected, filtered , spread, and so on.

Importance Of Proper Lighting


The way in which we light our subjects is relative to the objects being photographed, where our photographs will be displayed, what we want to accomplish with the photographs and more. And just like most everything else that photography involves, we always have creative freedom in the final details of how we will light our shot.

 There are definitely guidelines and we cannot avoid the fact that certain lighting techniques and kits simply work well in specific situations. But once you understand these common concepts , lighting techniques will become second nature and the quality of your photographs will be proof of your professionalism and photography knowledge.

Here are some of the different photography situations that require there own specific lighting techniques:



  • Portrait Photography 
  • Product Photography
  • Trick Photography Effects
  • Magazine/Photo Shoots

Portrait photography for instance, will utilize several different lighting techniques, equipment and kits. Because the scene for a portrait can range from 1 person to an entire family and occasions such as christmas and graduation photos, the number of different styles and ideal lighting situations will vary greatly.



On the other hand, something like product photography , when used for smaller products, such as jewelry and such, focuses on making the objects stand out. This is usually done by using 'light boxes' or 'photo tents' as a way to create the perfect light "spreading" within the shot. The bottom line is that our lighting techniques are used as a way to eliminate shadows , create a focus on certain features as well as hide certain features.

Although this is one of the more in depth and advanced digital photography subjects , once we understand the basic ideals of photography lighting , our overall ability to create proper lighting for any photography situation will be easily recognized.
