Photography Lighting Techniques To Help You Get Stunning Photos
by Amy Renfrey
Light tells us a lot of special things. It tells us whether the environment is safe or not. It tells us whether or not we can trust our environment.There is a good reason kids are fearful of the dark, and this exercise shows that we have never truly moved out of that. But, not all photos with intense shadow capture this feeling of alarm. In actual fact depending on the way we create the image, and photograph it, we can really capture something quite interesting.
Light also has an influence on tone, texture, vibrancy and our background environment. We can be in charge of our lighting in many ways; f-stop, shutter speed, using the flash, fine tuning the intensity of the flash unit, using supplementary lighting sources, using an individual lighting source, making use of filters, affecting our photos in Photoshop, moving a person from a dark space to a window and many more things. It's very important to work well with light because it assists you to you tell your story. And story telling is what taking photos is all about.
When you need a well lit image but can't produce it, it can be tremendously difficult. This can consist of situations like shooting speedy movement indoors, without the subject being too blurry. This is nearly impossible so we then use additional lighting options to help us get additional light so we can speed up the shutter. We speed up the shutter so we don't shoot any blur. In a case like this we could use the flash, use a higher ISO to make the camera more receptive to light or use other lighting sources.
On saying this however, from time to time you will not like a bright picture. At times you might want to make something somewhat moody and intense, or on the other hand, gentle and romantic. This may require dim or very little light. You can still get good pictures with a low intensity of light.
Many wedding and portrait photos are used with quite soft light. It makes the story and overall image look gentle. Window light is an illustration of how light that can do this. There are other ways to capture lovely photos using a small amount of light. I've done it lots of times. It takes time but before long you will appreciate lighting and be able to create the mood and feeling you wish for.
You don't always have to take photos of people when using dim light. You can place an importance on the form of an object. You could only want to highlight certain things and not others. Let's take a look at an example of a photo I took with this exact theme in mind.
Canon 5D, F5.6, 1/250th of a second, ISO 4000, 105mm.
In this photo here I photographed my husband's fingers. He was in his art studio drawing up measurements for his next painting. As I noticed his hands move smoothly over the canvas I couldn't help noticing how beautiful the light was. It cast a gentle and warm light over the entire space. I sought to capture the softness of the action, by preserving the lighting on particular components of the image and not others.
