Light is the key component to a good photo. Without light there is no picture. There are four kinds of lighting that effect photography. The four kinds of light are:
1) Front light
2) Side light
3) Back light
4) Flat light
Front Light
Front light is the most commonly used lighting. Front lighting falls directly on the subject. It sometimes makes people squint because they look right into the light.
Side Light
Side light is when the light falls on the side of the subject. Side light usually makes shadows on half of the subject. Landscape photos are nicer when the sun is lower in the sky. 10:00- 3:00 on sunny days is the worst time to take outdoor photos.
Back Light
Back light is when the light is behind or above the subject. You do not get much detail in the subject. With back light you will get a silhouette or halo effect.
