How to Find the Best Light for Photography 📸

âś…Golden Hour: Shoot during the first hour after sunrise and the last hour before sunset for soft, warm light.

âś…Blue Hour: Capture magical moments during the twilight hour after sunset and before sunrise.

✅Overcast Days:Use cloudy skies for diffused, even lighting—perfect for portraits and nature shots.

âś…Avoid Noon Sun: Midday sun casts harsh shadows; look for shade or use reflectors.

âś…Find Natural Diffusers:Shoot through sheer curtains or use trees for natural light diffusion.

âś…Use Reflectors:Bounce light onto your subject for balanced illumination.

âś…Experiment Indoor: Position subjects near windows for natural light; use white walls to reflect.

âś…Artificial Lighting: Use softboxes, ring lights, and LEDs for controlled indoor lighting.

âś…Golden Ratio:Balance light and shadows by placing lights at a 45-degree angle to your subject.
