For a perfect lighting setup, it’s essential to balance natural light with soft, diffused artificial lighting for a flattering effect. It’s similar to how cafés like Starbucks use warm ambient lighting to create an inviting atmosphere, making it ideal for capturing stunning photos with a cozy, classic vibe!
