For myself, I prefer natural light, except when I don't.



(Sunlight through leaves and "spun" wavy plexi, then the face smoothed out by an umbrella'd 580EX to camera right, about face level)

There is no "prefered" light that doesn't quickly become banal. Of course, some situations (say, exec portraits for the annual report) WANT that.

Lots of mixed lighting here btw
