Blog 18: Third Answer

EQ:
How can a photographer best achieve ideal lighting during a photo session?

Answer 3:
Having an understanding of natural light/ given light is a stepping stone to achieving ideal lighting during a photo session.

Details:
Directional Light: A photographer has to know what direction the light is coming from in order to know where to place the subject and additional lights if needed.

Light temperature: There are different light temperatures that photographers have to know about in order to know how to adjust their cameras, the reason we can't tell the difference is because our eyes adjust to light temperature automatically.

Surfaces: Depending on how bright of a day it is the sun or type of light might reflect off of surfaces that may not be flattering to the photo and a photographer has to know how to fix that.
