Studio lighting refers to the use of artificial light sources in a controlled environment, typically for photography or video production. It allows photographers and videographers to manipulate light to achieve desired effects, enhance details, and create mood. Common types of studio lights include softboxes, umbrellas, and LED panels, each offering different qualities of light. In a studio setting, lighting can be adjusted in terms of intensity, direction, and color temperature. This flexibility helps in achieving consistent results, regardless of external conditions. Proper studio lighting techniques can significantly improve the quality of images and videos, making them more visually appealing.
