Yep! I can relate to that! 🙂
are different types of lighting used for portraits when you’re outside vs. inside?
Well, I’m not a lighting pro obviously, but indoors there’s really 2 types of light you can use – natural light (from a window, door etc) or artificial light (flash, speedlite, light bulb from the ceiling etc). So I would say that you may use a different type of light when shooting inside, but you use the same principles. If using a speedlite for instance, you can point it to the side for side lighting, you can set it up to have backlighting, or you can bounce it off a white wall to have reflected light etc.
I have no idea if that’s helpful. . .
