Let's get into it.
So, we're continuing our AD100 pro series here.
But for this one, we're taking a look
at natural lighting versus strobe
lighting featuring the Godox AD100 pro.
So, what is artificial lighting?
Firstly, artificial lighting can be any light that's produced,
not made from nature obviously.
So, it could be a flash such as this.
It could be interior lights from a room.
Now, natural lighting would be something
that you get obviously outdoors.
It could be overcast. It could be extremely bright.
And that's what we're considering natural lighting.
Our examples here,
we're shooting in a studio environment.
However, we do have access to natural light
because the studio has a large roller warehouse door
and we've opened that up to show some demonstrations
of similar style poses with the model.
However, using natural lighting versus strobe lighting.
In the first one here,
we have the model who's posing in front of a paper backdrop
and the lights coming from the left side of the model.
And you can actually see the natural light
coming in and filling in.
However, there are obvious shadows
because the light's coming from one direction,
whereas with artificial lighting,
you're obviously able to position and control
where that light comes from.
So, in this example, you can see the colors are a little dull
and you're losing a little bit of detail in the shot.
In this example, we're using two AD100 pros.
And you can see the shots a lot more well evenly lit.
So, you're getting a lot of detail in the shot.
It's filled in a lot of those shadows
that you saw from the natural daylight shot.
And you have more controlling factors in this shot.
So, you're able to position the lights where you need them.
You're able to control the intensity,
and you don't have to rely on natural lighting
that's coming from outdoors.
So, if a big cloud came past and reduced that ambient lighting,
you're going to have to change your camera settings.
And with the AD100 pro and artificial lighting,
you're able to control and dial in those settings
and maintain those settings
regardless of what happens with the weather conditions.
So, in this next example we have a close-up portrait
shot of the model. One with natural lighting
and one with artificial lighting with the AD100 pro.
So, in this first example, the natural lighting example,
you can see that the image is a little softer.
It's a little bit more flat and a little dull
also because you're losing a little bit of detail
with the natural light.
It's not as detailed as what you would get with an artificial
or a flash type shot.
So, in this next example, you can see that the flash shot
with the AD100 pro is a lot sharper.
Colours are popping a lot more
and the focus is really on the model itself.
So, my final thoughts regarding natural lighting versus strobe
lighting are that natural lighting
is obviously a great place to start,
especially if you're playing around with
how light falls on your subject.
So, using the available natural lighting outside
regardless of the type of weather conditions you have.
So, it could be a completely sunny day, it could be overcast,
understanding how the light and the shadow takes part
when taking a shot of your subject.
When you're jumping into artificial lighting,
the great thing about it is that you can control
so many different factors,
similar to how you can control factors on your camera
in the camera settings when using and shooting in manual.
So, what you see is that artificial lighting
is really great
if you're starting to dip your toes into understanding
and knowing how to control all the lighting factors for your shot.
