STRONG Answers from Lighting Question

Lighting is important because it can drastically affect the outcome of image. Without proper lighting a photo will not develop enough or be over developed.

Lighting is important for photographers to consider because it dictates the images depth and values. This can create the mood of the photo.

Light is important to consider when you are a photographer because the light basically determines the overall aura of the picture and can give it a certain vibe.

Lighting is important to consider because it can make an image better or worse and you need to know how to manipulate it in your favor. You also need to be aware of where the sun is so you do not have glare or a washed-out image.
