    • Natural Light. If you want to use natural light in your photography, it’s important to understand the angle of the sun and how that will affect your composition.
    • Front Light (or Flat Light) Front light occurs when the light source is directly in front of your subject. Since the light is not at an angle, this can result in a limited amount of shadows.
    • Backlight. Backlit photos are when the light source is behind the subject, with the subject in between the light and your camera. This can be a great opportunity to play with silhouette and long shadows in your photography.
    • Soft Light. Soft lighting occurs when your light source is diffused, so that the effect is more subtle than it would be with a direct source of light. By using soft light, you will end up with less intense shadows, if any at all, and a lower contrast between the darks and lights in your photo.
