Lightbulb Question for people who use natural lighting without using photography.....

Question for people who use natural lighting without using photography studio lighting with photo editing do look like studio lighting only...

This is a great question:
Do you take natural lighting without using studio lighting and you put into photo editing will more look like studio lighting on photo editing only with natural lighting?

Let me see if I have your question right...

You want to know if photographers that only use natural light try to make their lighting look like studio lighting by post processing?

If in case that is your question, I don't. I do the opposite. My goal when using studio lighting is to make it look like natural light. Not with post processing, either - just with the lighting itself. You can't post-process good light into a photograph.

Maybe my answer will actually help some unsuspecting newbie who happens upon this thread.

See this thread ( post 143 example #1 (to make the background black/.

See also the first example in post #52

Here is another pic shot in natural light and not in a studio...

@Photography
Just to reduce any possible confusion re your question, would you care to post an example photograph including what you did in PPing?
