Photographic Notes 15- What are the classifications of light?

Classification of light:

Light can be divided into natural light, scene light and artificial light according to types.

Natural light: the light encountered outdoors is basically natural light, such as the light of the sun. But when sunlight passes through different objects at different times, the light will have different shapes, intensities and color temperatures. Sunrise and sunset have low color temperature and strong light intensity, which is suitable for shooting the sun. The color temperature is moderate during the day, and the color of the subject will not change much, so it is easy to shoot the color of the blue sky and white clouds themselves.

Scene light: the light we encounter indoors is basically scene light, light and sunlight coming in from the window.

Artificial light: artificial light is a light source made artificially for the purpose of photography, such as fill light, flash, etc.
