Lighting 

For today's blog I am going to talk about the lighting that I chose to take my pictures with for my magazine. Since I want my magazine to have  a nature style, I decided to take the pictures outside in a park, where I would have to deal with natural lighting. 

For those of you who do not know what natural lighting is... this type of lighting uses the sun as a source of light, and since it varies a lot throughout the day, you can get different colors and tones in your pictures.

Here are some examples of natural light in different times of the day:

I personally prefer natural light over artificial light because its affordable, you do not need to purchase expensive artificial light sources. It offers you variety, depending on the weather or the time you are taking the pictures, you are going to get a different outcome and finally, natural light can be used both in outdoors and indoors. 

Another reason I chose to take the pictures for my magazine outside, in a park, is because the conventional types of pictures you see in a fitness magazines are pictures that were taken outdoors, like in a beach, park, etc.
