Photography literally translates to painting with light, which also means that lighting is one of the most essential aspects of photography. There are different types of lighting too – natural lighting, ambient lighting, off-camera lighting, and so on. Even the sparklers at a sparkler exit could be one of your lighting options. But in this blog, we will be focusing on the third one and bring you some off-camera lighting inspiration by ShootDotEdit customers. When you learn how to control the light in your photos (like these pro photographers did), you can instantly change the scene and setting according to your preferences and get stunning images of your couples and their guests. You could go dark, moody, and dramatic, or keep the lighting more light and airy. Plus, there are multiple benefits attached to learning about lighting. As a wedding photographer, you don’t always get to have a say in your couple’s wedding venue, so when you find yourself in a venue that has less than ideal lighting, you could refer back to these photos and tips to help you navigate the session.
