What is the most important element of an excellent photographic work? Content, light or angle?

Live light photography only uses the light existing in the scene, not the outdoor sunlight. For example, the spotlight can be a household lamp, a fireplace lamp or a neon lamp. Spotlight also includes a spotlight beam that hits a ballet dancer on the stage, or a candlelight that illuminates a lover's face. Living light also includes sunlight entering the room through the window. In other words, spotlights are just the existing light in the scene-except outdoor sunlight-rather than artificial light sources, such as overflow lights, flashlights or electronic flashlights. Spotlights are usually darker than outdoor sunlight or artificial lighting in a studio, so photographers should pay special attention to correct exposure. For centuries, painters like to use the sunlight coming in from the window to paint portraits, because this kind of light has strong modeling ability and good projection. Photographers often use this light to shoot portraits indoors in the future.

Sunlight entering through a window is usually scattered light. Its characteristics are: large lighting area, soft and uniform, which can not only reproduce rich layers and textures, but also better express the three-dimensional sense, so it should be an ideal choice for shooting indoor portraits.

This time we will introduce how to use scattered light to shoot indoors.
