Getting comfortable with studio lighting

I must confess that I do prefer to work with natural light for still life photography, even bad light can be beautiful. However, it is not always possible to work during daylight hours during some parts of the year.

Sometimes due to a hectic work schedule, I am forced to shoot in the evenings and that’s where studio light comes in. When it comes to portraits in the studio, I often prefer studio light for crisp images as well. Just because they are big bright studio lights, it does not mean you have harsh light on your subject. I still work with beautiful soft light. It’s not that difficult to get comfortable with studio lighting.
