Softer lighting adds a dreamy quality to your photograph. Soft, natural light such as found in the early morning or early evening hours is ideal. We can not always choose these ideal times for our sessions, however, and must make do with what we have available. Indoors, you can use candles as a light source or drape a sheer scarf over your flash to produce this softer look. Outdoors, try waiting for an overcast day, if possible or place your subject in the shade and use fill flash.
There are times when you want to present a dramatic statement with your photograph. Direct, bright light will produce many deep shadows on your subject that, if worked with, can create a very dramatic impression. In landscapes, deep shadows can create a sense of danger in cliffs and rocky areas. A chasm filled with the black of shadow produces an image of danger and mystery. Even a portrait can be done with harsh light. Work with the angle of the light, taking several poses. A face partially obscured in shadow can appear mysterious.
