Hands down, lighting is one of the most important aspects of photography. You can take pictures at the most perfect location ever with the most gorgeous props and impossibly photogenic models, but if your lighting is off the whole picture has been compromised.
As a photographer, you’re probably already aware of how important lighting is in all your pictures. What will separate your work from other photographs, though, is taking all the necessary steps to improving your camera skills in the natural light department! Meet BP4U’s brand new The Beginner’s Guide To: Lighting!
