Light is the fundamental requirement for us to view things. The moment light falls on an object and is reflected back to our eyes we start seeing things. We observe colour based on the which part of light is reflected and which is absorbed the object. Black coloured objects, for instance, will absorb all the light that falls on it and hence looks black. A white object reflects everything that falls onto it.
Photography is everything about light. The entire magic is how we perceive light and capture it. Whenever, we shoot a subject it either has to emit its own light or borrow from any other light source to be seen by the camera. If there is no light source, camera flash is used.
We understand now that the essence of a photograph is light. A subject can be well lit or dim lit based on the amount of light it throws (reflects or emits) at the camera. A picture can be overexposed, underexposed or correctly exposed. Without going into much detail about what exposure is (saving this for later), all exposure types can be deliberate. Yes, if used properly all these three techniques can produce amazing results.
Now, let us concentrate on different types of lights. I'll start by saying that light can be natural or artificial. Natural light is light from the sun. Artificial can be your bulbs, flashes etc. Light can be harsh or diffused. Light can be transmitted or reflected. Light can be direct or indirect on subject.
