I love experimenting with artificial lighting and messing with natural lighting. The lighting of a photograph can completely change the style and theme of a photograph, you can take one subject and make it either beautiful or horrific through how you choose to light it. Sometimes people fall in the trap of believing that the only way to light a photograph artificially is through using photographic flashes... they are good... but I also love experimenting with my simple little table lamp. A table lamp is so versatile, you can create diffusers for it, easily angle and position it, reflect it with tin foil... there are endless things you can use to create really interesting lighting set ups. I am a big fan of experimentation within photography and photographic techniques, and I think that everyone should use what it available to them to create interesting imagery before investing in top of the range photographic equipment. The equipment does not make a photographer good, the photographer's creativity does!
