Capturing portraits in various lighting conditions can dramatically influence the mood and quality of the photographs, making it essential to understand how to work with different types of light. Natural light, such as the soft, diffused glow during golden hour, creates a warm and flattering portrait with gentle shadows and highlights.

Indoor lighting requires careful manipulation of artificial sources, by mastering various lighting techniques, I can enhance the subject's features, convey different emotions, and tell a more compelling visual story.
