Right now I'm creating photographs with the viewpoint of "The Lighting is everything " and I was wondering if any of the pros had that stop upon their journeys?
Welcome to the forums.
As a hobbyst the answer is yes!

Long time enthusiast. My journey went as follows: technical proficiency with the equipment> composition> natural lighting> daylight + flash>multi flash lighting.
That is what I always search for.
Considering that “photo” means light and “ography” the study of it. Yes, I’d say lighting is everything.
Welcome to the form and yes, lighting is everything. (and composition)
Yes, that’s all a photograph is...
So all a photo needs to be great is great lighting? I don't believe that is true.
Lighting is everything if we achieve the right exposure for it.
Welcome to the hog. I did the same thing, lingering around for a while before signing on. I shoot outdoors mostly so , Always looking for the light. Its not always there thow!
Never a pro, always a hobbyist. And have never stopped believing in the importance of light.
Love shooting at Golden Hour, but even more I love shooting into the light for revealing textures of translucent subjects or for silhouettes, rim light, flare, sun sparkles. Harsh light for graphic-like b&w too. It's all good.

Well, not exactly, but I get your meaning.
