Pretty much all photographers long for those moments when the summer evening sun shines on the scene at just the right angle. Unfortunately, it's not always summer and it rains every now and then, even in July or August. In order to be able to work with the perfect light at any time of the day or night and regardless of the season, professionals use artificial light.

There are many ways to achieve perfect illumination of an object or person with artificial light. The ring light, which combines numerous advantages of classic light shapers with its special shape, is becoming increasingly popular.

It doesn't always take a professional photo studio or a professional photographer to achieve perfect results in photography. The so-called home shootings, in which the elements that already exist in a house or apartment are used anyway, are becoming increasingly popular.

Studio photography attempts to copy natural light as much as possible. Even if it should storm and snow outside, an artificial light source and the appropriate light shapers can create an atmosphere reminiscent of a summer evening.

The portrait is considered the supreme discipline in photography. It is about capturing the soul of a person. In order for this to succeed, it not only needs a good relationship between the photographer and the model. The light must also match the chosen imagery.

Apart from the choice of motif, it is the color contrast that makes a big contribution to being the center of attention. If the background is also shown in black and white, the colorful motif moves into the focus of the picture. This color effect is called color key and was used extensively, especially in advertising.

Photography is a great way to freeze time. While couples are increasingly taking selfies these days, a professional or amateur photographer, with their skills and equipment, is a little better placed to create photographic memories that will stand the test of time .

The sun as a natural light source conjures up a special atmosphere in your recordings. You can find out how you too can achieve great results when shooting with backlight in our blog post.
