What are the shooting lights?

There are front light, side light, backlight, neck light and foot light for photography, so it needs to be used flexibly when shooting. Photographic light can enhance the spatial sense and three-dimensional sense of the picture, create an atmosphere, set off the theme and make the work appealing.

The word photography comes from the Greek word Φ φφ_ _ phos (light) and ραφχgraphics (painting and sketch) or ραφ_ graphφ, which together mean "painting with light". Photography refers to the process of recording images with some special equipment. Generally, we take photos with mechanical cameras or digital cameras.
