Photography 101 Lighting the scene.

Lighting the scene starts for me with the first click, the first shot, what is the light in this space giving me right now.

Looking at the shot in camera, my thoughts are these conditions going to be positive or problematic, what equipment is required to fix.

Problematic are the conditions where the light needed to balance may be quite high, maybe the scene is too contrasty, most desirable are the conditions requiring minimal intervention.

From there on in the decisions made are about pushing light in, how you shape, how you control and the quality in terms of being hard or soft.
