(Photography) Do you need room lights for private photos and hotel backlighting? Just add a reflector, okay?

Room lights are not necessary.

Hotel private photos generally use field light (usually dark) to increase aperture lens or high ISO;; Natural light outside the window plus reflective device; Artificial light source plus reflective soft light device; Or a combination thereof. In order to create more flexibly, it is necessary to combine artificial light source with reflective soft light device, and studio light is only one kind of artificial light source. Many people will use flash as artificial light source, which is more flexible and convenient.

This is especially true for outdoor backlights. Flash and soft light reflector are the most flexible and commonly used methods, even if only one reflector is used well, it can have good results. Usually (non-commercial photography or extremely complex applications), studio lights are unnecessary, and more importantly, they are not flexible and convenient enough.

PS:

I won't say much about the importance of artificial light in photography, but personally, I think we should pay more attention to the nature, effect and use skills of light, and don't spend too much time wandering around the equipment ~
