Lighting to me is the most important thing when it comes to taking pictures. If you don’t have good lighting you don’t have a good picture. I know that nowadays pictures can be edited to make lighting in the photo better but I like to avoid that in the first place. This picture on the left is one of my favorite pictures because of the natural light coming from the window. The blinds add a shadow and make it more appealing. But let me tell you the struggle it took to take this picture. So I usually take pictures around 3pm to 6pm EST because that’s when I get the best lighting. I got dressed up, put my makeup on and everything. I set up my tripod to take pictures and just started snapping away. But I wasn’t getting the pictures to come out how I wanted them too. I think that the pictures are good but they had a different mood to them. I waited for the lighting to get better to take some more pictures, I tried changing outfits so I can have more options of pictures to choose from and I just got frustrated. I took off my makeup and all of my clothes. I gave up for the day. Or I thought I did because all of the sudden the sun came out brighter than ever. I rushed to put my clothes back on. I didn’t even try to put on makeup because I didn’t want the sunlight to go away. I’m so glad that I did that because I think the pictures came out great. I’m going to show you all of the pictures and give you around what time I took them.
