What light is used most in photography?

The essence of photography lies in the expression of light and shadow. According to different themes, the use of light varies greatly. For example, portrait photography mostly uses side light, male side backlight, emphasizing contour, female side backlight, emphasizing texture, supplemented by city top light, and distinguishing levels. Landscape photography is complicated, and different lighting angles are selected according to different subjects, but they are all the same. A basic principle is to highlight the texture with the front light, the level with the side light and the outline with the backlight.
