It means that you are photographing subjects that are partly or totally shielded from the direct light source of the 45° side lighting. Reflected lighting from auxiliary light sources or from reflective surfaces such as conventional or metallic walls, floors in the shaded area are other variations of natural lighting.

Listed here are four examples of various subjects photographed under shielded natural lighting:



In the earlier portrait shot using daylight balanced photoflood light, care must be taken when using this type of lighting since it has the tendency to produce slightly reddish or warmer skin tones when using daylight colour slide film.

In this photo of two models that were photographed using daylight photoflood lights, two lights were placed at a 45° angle from both sides of the camera. One of the light was used a fill-in and set at 1:2 ratio, which is half that of the main light.

Shooting pictures using fluorescent lighting is easy if you don't mind the greenish effects that is associated with pictures being photographed under such conditions.

Of course, there are colour correction filters available to enable colour compensation for pictures shot under this condition. Or you can mix daylight with fluorescent lighting to have a warmer tone in your picture.
