Light is one of the most important elements to consider when taking photos. A really great shot could be ruined if the lighting isn’t good. Taking pictures with your iPhone in different kinds of light is all about training your eye to recognize how the available light will affect the scene. In this\u00a0tutorial you’ll discover the different\u00a0kinds of light that are available throughout the day and evening, and how best to use that\u00a0light in your indoor and outdoor iPhone photography.<\/p>\n

\"Processed<\/p>\n

Why Is Light So Important?<\/h2>\n

Photography can be thought of as “painting with light.” The word photography is derived from Greek roots: “photos” meaning “light” and “graphe” meaning “drawing.” Without light, there would be\u00a0no photography.<\/p>\n

There are many different types of light, and this makes a huge difference to how your photos will\u00a0turn out. Taking a photo of the same scene or subject at different times of the day will produce dramatically different results, some better than others.<\/p>\n

\"Silhouette<\/p>\n

Knowing what kind of light is best for certain kinds of photos, including portraits<\/a>, sunsets<\/a>, silhouettes<\/a> and landscapes<\/a>\u00a0is very important because your eyes don\u2019t see the same thing as your camera. What looks good to your eye may not look so great through your camera’s viewfinder.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

The tips in this article will help you recognize the qualities of different types of natural light<\/a> during various\u00a0times of the day, and in different weather conditions. You’ll also learn how to use\u00a0different types of indoor lighting such as window light and artificial light sources<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By the end of the tutorial you’ll know how to deal with a wide variety of lighting conditions so that you can always take incredible photos, no matter what kind of light you’re shooting in.<\/p>\n

1. Capture The Magic Of Golden Hour<\/h2>\n

Golden hour<\/a> is considered a magical time of day due to the amazing color and quality of the light. The golden hours occur approximately an hour after the sun rises and an hour before the sun sets.<\/p>\n

When the sun is low in the sky, the light rays are filtered through the atmospheric particles producing a warm and dimensional light that makes anyone and anything look beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

Most photographers prefer to shoot at this time of day since it really is a perfect light. Almost anything you choose to photograph will look wonderful in\u00a0this kind of light.\u00a0It\u2019s my favorite time of day for taking any kind of photos.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

Golden hour is a perfect time of day for taking portrait photos as the light is very flattering on your subject. Skin tones appear\u00a0warm and soft without any harsh shadows.<\/p>\n

Unflattering shadows on the face are a common problem when shooting in full sun, so waiting until golden hour is a much better option for portrait photography.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

During golden hour you’ll be able to use the low sun to create a soft lens flare or long shadows in your photos. Landscapes are particularly stunning during golden hour.<\/p>\n

2. Use The\u00a0Cool Light Of Blue Hour<\/h2>\n

Blue hour is the time of day that occurs approximately 20 –\u00a030 minutes before sunrise and the same amount of time after sunset. It’s a very short window of time and is a bit trickier to shoot in than golden hour due to the reduced amount of light.<\/p>\n

\"Mist<\/p>\n

The color of the light at blue hour is very different to golden hour because the sun is no longer visible above the horizon. At blue hour the color of the light can be anywhere from a beautiful ethereal lavender to luminescent blue.<\/p>\n

Because of the low light<\/a> at this time of day, your photos may end up a bit\u00a0grainy. A\u00a0little bit of grain isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but photos that are\u00a0too grainy won’t look good.<\/p>\n

\"Mist<\/p>\n

In low light the camera has to use a slower shutter speed which may result in blurry photos. If you’re getting camera shake, use an iPhone tripod<\/a> to steady your iPhone.<\/p>\n

The best photos for this kind of light are often\u00a0cityscapes because the lights glow a soft yellow which creates a beautiful contrast to the lovely soft blue.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

I took this photo during blue hour using the Slow Shutter app<\/a> to capture the lights of fireflies in my yard. The street light helped to illuminate the scene and created a lovely warm glow.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

This portrait of my daughter was taken during blue hour. I positioned her so that she was facing the brightest part of the scene to ensure her face was illuminated. This contrasts nicely with the darker areas that are in complete shadow.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

If you’re taking landscape photos as blue hour and golden hour are merging, you may be able to capture the faint orange glow of the sun on the horizon for a particularly beautiful photo. The warm orange complements the deep\u00a0blue color of the rest of the sky.
\n<\/p>\n

3. Use\u00a0Bright Direct Sunlight To Your Advantage<\/h2>\n

Bright direct sunlight<\/a>\u00a0isn’t usually the best light\u00a0for photography. The bright sun\u00a0can cause problems with over-exposure and can cast harsh, unflattering shadows on your subject.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0that doesn’t mean you shouldn\u2019t take photos at this time of day as you can actually get great results when shooting in full sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

This photo of my daughter dancing in the field was taken during the brightest part of the day. The bright light means that your camera will use a fast shutter speed, which is great for freezing the movement of your subject in action shots.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

Sometimes shadows created by the bright sun can ruin a photo, but other times you can take advantage of them. Try taking photos that utilize the deep long shadows created by bright sunlight. You can end up with some really fun and dramatic results.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

In general,\u00a0it’s not a good idea to shoot directly into the bright sun, however this technique can create\u00a0some interesting results such as lens flare as shown in the image above.<\/p>\n

Just point the lens\u00a0in the direction of the sun\u00a0and move your camera around slightly to change the shooting angle until you capture the amount of flare that you want.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

Another technique when shooting in bright light is to change your perspective. Rather than shooting this yellow flower from above, I got low to the ground and shot upwards so that the flowers were backlit by the sun.<\/p>\n

See how the bright light\u00a0brings out the texture of the petals and leaves. This is also a great technique to use if you’re having problems with casting your own shadow over your subject when shooting from above.<\/p>\n

If you take the time to experiment with different shooting angles<\/a> and manually adjusting the exposure within the camera app, you can actually use bright light\u00a0to emphasize shapes, lines, textures and patterns in your subjects.<\/p>\n

\"iPhone<\/p>\n

Finally, if your subject can be moved, it’s also worth looking out for a shady or partially shady spot when you’re shooting in bright sunlight.\u00a0This is especially useful when taking portraits as it will avoid your subject\u00a0getting squinty eyes and having harsh shadows on their face\u00a0which often happens in direct\u00a0sunlight.<\/p>\n

4. Make The Most Of\u00a0Overcast Cloudy Skies<\/h2>\n

My children love to help me take photographs whenever the skies are overcast and possibly rainy. We grab an umbrella and hope for a good rain and maybe a puddle to splash around in.<\/p>\n

\"Processed<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t shy away from inclement weather. A cloudy or rainy day<\/a>\u00a0is often\u00a0the perfect weather for taking photos. Depending on the cloud cover, the light can be\u00a0bright and diffused, low and subdued, or\u00a0dark and dramatic.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

An overcast sky\u00a0is usually perfect for any kind of photography, from portraits, to landscapes, to close up macro shots of flowers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"iPhone<\/p>\n

Using photography terminology, overcast skies are\u00a0considered nature\u2019s “softbox.” The clouds act as a diffuser, softening the light from the sun above the clouds. This eliminates all of the problems that can occur in bright sunlight, such as harsh shadows, exposure problems and squinting subjects.<\/p>\n

5. Capture Beautiful Diffused Light In Mist &\u00a0Fog<\/h2>\n

Mist and fog<\/a> is my favorite kind of light and atmosphere for taking pictures.\u00a0Fog and mist usually occur in the morning and late evening hours near bodies of water<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Light that’s diffused through fog and mist is incredibly beautiful and surreal. Although the color is unsaturated and often grey, it can make any photo have a moody and evocative feel.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

When shooting in fog, be sure to set the focus carefully. It’s usually best to set focus on a subject in the foreground, such as the trees on this river bank. Simply tap on the screen to set focus on a particular area.<\/p>\n

Fog and mist can trick your camera’s exposure settings, so once you’ve set the focus, swipe up or down on the screen to manually adjust the exposure until the brightness looks just right.<\/p>\n

\"Mist<\/p>\n

In low light your camera has to use a slower shutter speed to allow enough light in to expose the image correctly, therefore you may end up with blurry photos if you move your iPhone during the exposure. Try to keep as still as possible or use a tripod to steady the camera.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

Another\u00a0amazing photo to capture in this type of weather is where the sun is shining through the fog. In this type of light, the sun creates stunning beams of light in your image which create a truly magical feel. You can use trees in the scene to block out some of the bright light from the sun if necessary.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

Landscapes, silhouettes and other nature shots are wonderfully enhanced when fog is present. Shooting in mist and fog can take some practice to get right, but once you’ve mastered it, the light in this type of weather will enable you to capture spectacular shots with your iPhone.<\/p>\n

6. Use Window Light For Indoor Shots<\/h2>\n

Of course, you may not always be taking photos outdoors, so knowing how to make use of available light when taking photos in your home<\/a> or other indoor locations\u00a0is an important skill to master.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

During the daytime, the most obvious light source for indoor photography is window light. Window light makes a\u00a0wonderful kind of light for portrait and still life photography, allowing for many photographic options.<\/p>\n

\"iPhone<\/p>\n

The directional window light\u00a0can illuminate part of the subject while creating deep shadows on the other part of the scene. Silhouettes or partial silhouettes<\/a> can be easily achieved by placing your subject in front of a window and exposing for a bright\u00a0part of the scene.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

Clothing and hair\u00a0can be illuminated with window light from behind, creating wonderful colors with a soft, dreamy feel.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

Windows that have eastern\u00a0or western exposure will offer the best softly diffused light throughout the day, but you could also use bright light through a south facing window for casting interesting shadows on your subject.<\/p>\n

7. Use Artificial Light At Night<\/h2>\n

There will be times when there’s little or no natural light in your scene, such as when you shoot at night<\/a> or indoors on a dark overcast day. In these situations we need to illuminate our subjects with artificial light sources.<\/p>\n

There are so many creative ways to use artificial light, such as table lamps, flashlights, candles, car headlights, street lights, or even iPads and iPhones.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

The above photo of my son was taken at night near a street light. This light source has provided an interesting directional light that has illuminated the main features of his face.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

This photo was taken right outside my door using the porch light, as well as having the bright snow boost the light in the scene.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that artificial light, whether it\u2019s incandescent, florescent or LED, usually comes in a variety\u00a0of color temperatures. Some light sources emit\u00a0a warm orange color, whereas others give off a cooler blue or even a greenish color.<\/p>\n

Sometimes these color casts can add to the ambience of the photo, but other times you may want to remove them or tone them down using apps to adjust the color temperature or white balance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

This shot of my son in the swimming pool was taken at night using only the pool lights. I used the Snapseed app<\/a> to brighten the photo and to adjust the color saturation and white balance.<\/p>\n

While artificial light can be more difficult to work with than natural light, there are endless creative possibilities that can help you create incredible iPhone photos, even when it’s dark.\u00a0You may need to experiment with this kind of light, but it’s worth it to see what great effects you can achieve.<\/p>\n

8. Illuminate Your Subject From The Front<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now that you’ve been introduced to different kinds of light, you need to be aware of how the direction of the light\u00a0will affect your photos. Light can come from any direction, but for the sake of photography we’ll discuss front, back and side lighting.<\/p>\n

Front light is when the light source is illuminating the subject from the front. Therefore the light will be behind you as the photographer.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

With front lighting, your subject will usually be evenly lit, with no shadows. Front lighting is good for portrait photography where you want the person’s face to be fully illuminated.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

If you’re taking a portrait photo, remember that bright sunlight will cause your subject to squint, so if possible, move into an area of partial shade where the ambient light can still reach your subject.<\/p>\n

9. Back Light Your Subject<\/h2>\n

Back light is where the light source is illuminating your subject from behind. In this case the light will be in front of you as the photographer.\u00a0Shooting directly towards the light creates a completely different effect from shooting with the light behind you.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

One of the main reasons you would want to use back lighting is to create a silhouette photo where your subject appears as a dark outline\u00a0against a\u00a0bright background.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

To create a silhouette, ensure there is a strong light source, such as the sun, behind your subject. Then set the exposure so that the brightest part of the scene,\u00a0such as\u00a0the sky, is\u00a0correctly exposed. This will ensure that the main subject appears as a dark silhouette against the brighter background.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

If you want a lovely warm glow around your subject,\u00a0back lighting\u00a0is the type of light direction you would need to\u00a0use. We call these glowing edges “rim lighting” in photography. It’s a wonderful technique for making your subject stand out by outlining them with light.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

Back lighting is also the light direction that produces lens flare. To create lens flare, shoot into the sun and experiment with holding the camera at slightly different angles to the sun until the flare appears where you want it.<\/p>\n

\"Karyn<\/p>\n

If you use backlighting with semi-transparent subjects such as flowers or leaves<\/a>, the light will shine through, revealing texture and detail that might otherwise not be captured by your camera.<\/p>\n

10. Use Side Lighting<\/h2>\n

Side light is where the light source illuminates one side of your subject, while the other side appears in shadow.\u00a0This light direction is lovely for portraits because it brings out facial features, as well as creating depth and dimension within the image.<\/p>\n

\"iPhone<\/p>\n

An easy way to side light your subject is to place them next to a window so that one side is illuminated by the light shining through the window, while the other side has no light source and therefore appears in shadow.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/p>\n

Side lighting is one of the most interesting light directions to use. It’s great for bringing out contours, textures, shadows and depth in your subject.\u00a0It also adds a wonderful air of mystery to the image, making the viewer wonder what’s hiding in the shadows.<\/p>\n
