Introduction
Photography, as we know it, came into 
existence only in the 19th century. But the 
word photograph unfolded from the Greek 
words phot meaning light and graph meaning 
writing.
Different Types of Lighting
   Natural light and artificial light are the two 
main kinds of light. Any light that occurs 
without human intervention is natural light. 
Some examples include the direct light of 
the sun’s rays on a sunny day, the diffused 
light on a cloudy or foggy day, or the gentle 
moonlight at night.
Natural Light
You need to understand the various angles of 
the sun and how each angle will affect your 
composition to use natural light optimally in 
your photography. 
You Don’t Need Any Photography 
Lighting Equipment During Golden 
Hour
The best natural light, without a doubt, is the 
ultra-soft light emanating over the horizon 
during the golden hours every day. Golden 
hour occurs during sunrise and sunset. 
Artificial Light
Any light source that isn’t naturally occurring is 
artificial light. Examples of artificial light 
include LED light, studio strobe, pop-up flash of 
the camera, speedlight, streetlight, or table 
lamp. Technically, all light sources other than 
sunlight, moonlight, and starlight are artificial.
While artificial light sources may sound elaborate 
and expensive, they are not. It’s true that 
premium professional-grade strobes are 
expensive. But you can also buy inexpensive DIY 
solutions.
