Light Measurement: A Photographer’s Secret Weapon

While modern cameras have sophisticated built-in light meters, having an independent light measurement tool like Luxmeter can give photographers an edge in challenging lighting situations.

Unlike camera meters that measure reflected light, Luxmeter measures incident light—the light falling on your subject. This provides a more accurate reading in high-contrast scenes or when shooting very light or dark subjects that might fool your camera’s meter.

For portrait photographers, measuring the light ratio between key and fill lights becomes simple with Luxmeter. Take a reading from each light source separately to ensure you’re achieving your desired lighting ratio.

Landscape photographers can use Luxmeter to determine the best times for shooting. By tracking light levels at favorite locations over time, you’ll know exactly when the golden hour begins and how quickly light levels change during sunset.

With Luxmeter’s precise measurements, you’ll spend less time guessing and more time capturing perfect images.
