Advantages and disadvantages of natural light source and artificial light source

Advantages: the biggest advantage of natural light is freedom, richness and easy to find. You can find natural light and bright lenses without investing a lot of money in lighting equipment.

2. Disadvantages: Although natural light is sufficient and easy to blend into photography, the difficulty lies in its great change. Depending on the location, season, weather and time, natural light will produce different colors and contrasts in the image.

Artificial light source:

Advantages: Because artificial light has nothing to do with natural light, it is a continuous light source and can be used at any time of the day.

2. Disadvantages: the artificial light source is expensive, which will waste resources to a great extent; Even if the artificial light source provides more control over photography, it needs more equipment and time to set it up.

Extended data:

Depending on the type of photo under consideration, multiple artificial light sources may be needed to balance the lens. Accessories such as batteries, cables and connectors will be needed, as well as a separate studio or a place to install equipment. In short, artificial lighting will add many other time-consuming and expensive components.

When there is no time to create a guided photo shoot, natural light can be easily used for reportage, street photography or running shooting techniques; On the other hand, artificial light is the first choice for commercial, product and fashion photography when there is both budget and sufficient resources for photography creation.
