An electronic device, comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• a processor;
• and
• a communicator;
• wherein the processor is configured execute the instructions to:
• launch a camera application,
• identify brightness information corresponding to a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) light devices;
• categorize the plurality of IoT light devices into at least one category based on a maximum brightness level included in the brightness information of each IoT light device of the plurality of IoT light devices and location information of each IoT light device of the plurality of IoT light devices with respect to a location of a camera and with respect to a face of at least one subject;
• receive a user input selecting a lighting effect from a plurality of lighting effects and an effect level;
• update information on the at least one category of the plurality of IoT light devices based on the lighting effect, the effect level and the brightness information;
• and
• obtain an image of the at least one subject based on the updated information on the at least one category.
