Lighting fall on a subject
Taking photograph has two basic methods for measuring a lighting fall on a subject, a reflecting light measures a light reflecting off a subject, and an incident light measures a light falls on a subject.
An inexpensive light falls on a subject, you can gets from a natural light such as a sun or moon light, and an artificial light such as house light, fire a place, candle or lamp light. These lights aren't easy to control a reflecting or incident light on a subject.
In photo studio, an artificial light source can find on camera speed-light and studio strobe light, a light cans produce a quality lighting of a color temperature —measure in degree Kelvin— from 1000K to 10,000K, and a flash high speed synchronization up to 1/8000s. These light can add onto a subject, easy to manage and fully control an adequate reflecting or incident light to bright a subject thru in the camera lenses.
