WHY WE NEED LIGHTING ?
FOR GETTING AN IMAGE WE NEED LIGHT. IN OUTDOORS, THE SUNLIGHT IS ABUNDANT. IN INDOORS WHAT WE WANT IS A BANK OF ARTIFICIAL LIGHT SOURCES. BUT WHY WE TALK ABOUT LIGHTING, IN A BIG WAY?
TAKE YOUR DRESSING ROOM-ANALYSE THE LIGHTING: VEN IF YOUR DRESSING ROOM IS AMPLY LIT, WE NEED TO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL LIGHTING OVER THE DRESSING TABLE.THIS IS BECAUSE, IT ENABLES US TO SEE MINUTE DETAILS CLEARLY.
TAKE YOUR READING ROOM – ANALYSE THE LIGHTING: APART FROM THE NORMAL LIGHTING, WHETHER IT IS SWITCHED ON or OFF, WE USE TABLE LAMPS WHICH ARE FOCUSSED ON TO YOUR BOOK.HERE, WE WANT TO CONCENTRATE MORE ON A SUBJECT, THAT IS, YOUR BOOK.
TAKE A CONCERT HALL – ANALYSE THE LIGHTING: ALL CONCERT HALLS ARE DIMLY LIT; TO CREATE THE MOOD & ATMOSPHERE AND ALSO WITH THE OTHER PURPOSE OF HIDING THE FACES OF THE PEOPLE.
So we need lighting for:
1.TO EMPHASIZE CERTAIN OBJECTS OR BRING ABOUT MORE DETAILS ( reveal)
2. TO CONCENTRATE ON SELECTED SUBJECTS
3. TO CONCEAL SOME THINGS WHICH ARE NOT RELEVANT
4. TO HAVE CONSISTANT PICTORIAL EFFECT
5. TO MODEL OR MOULD
6. TO REMOVE SHADOWS, HOT SPOTS PRODUCED BY UNCONTROLLED LIGHTING

HAVE YOU EVER OBSERVED LIGHTING AS IT FALLS ON A SUBJECT, IN OUTDOOR OR INDOOR
TAKE YOUR CAMERA AND MOVE AROUND THE SUBJECT WHICH IS LIT BY A SINGLE SOURCE.
AS YOU MOVE AROUND THE SUBJECT WHICH IS LIT BY A SINGLE SOURCE, MORE CONCENTRATED IN NATURE- WHAT DO YOU SEE?
AT EACH & EVERY PLACE, THE LIGHTING EFFECT CHANGES OR IT PRODUCES VARIABLE MODELLING ON THE FACE.
FOR THE PURPOSE OF PHOTOGRAPHY, IT IS NOT ONLY THE PLACEMENT OF THE LIGHT MATTERS,
BUT ALSO ITS ANGLE,
WHETHER FROM TOP OR BOTTOM, WHETHER BRIGHT OR DULL, LEFT OR RIGHT OR STRAIGHT,
WHETHER THE LIGHT IS COMING STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE OR IS REFLECTED BY THE NEARBY OBJECTS…..
ALL THESE PARAMETERS DECIDE THE FINAL APPEARANCE OF THE SUBJECT.
