Put an ordinary object near a window and notice which side is bright, where the shadow falls and how the background looks. Change your viewing position and compare. This original observation exercise needs no new equipment. Keep eyes and cameras away from direct Sun viewing; ordinary indoor daylight is enough. A generated studio image can inspire you, but it does not demonstrate an actual camera setup or guarantee a result.
