What is "lighting"?

Lighting refers to the use of artificial or natural light sources to illuminate a scene or subject. Proper lighting is essential for controlling the visibility, mood, and overall aesthetic of an image or video. It helps to define shapes, create depth, and enhance details, while also influencing color balance and contrast. Lighting setups can range from simple configurations with a single light source to complex arrangements with multiple lights, reflectors, and modifiers, each designed to achieve specific effects and improve the quality of the visual output.
