There are two main types of light that photographers use. High-Key light Most of the photographs you see in magazine or advertisements use high-key light. The photos are bright and well lit and they often have very few shadows. However, they have enough shadows for the photograph to look real because that’s what makes products stand out and what sells. Low-Key light On the other hand, low-key light is the very dark lighting that requires a tripod or a longer shutter speed. Night photography uses low-key lighting and if done properly it can create beautiful pieces of art.
