There are 3-Point Lighting:
Key Light - Fill Light - Back Light
The best lighting technique is 3-point lighting. In 3-point lighting 3 lights are used. A key light, a fill light, and a back light.
Key light
- the main light that is placed at a thirty to forty-five degree angle in front of the subject and to the side of the camera.
- is placed on the side of the camera just opposite of the key light.
- is used to soften shadows created by the key light.
- is set to about half the intensity of the key light, and often a broad, scoop, or soft light is used instead of a spotlight to provide a softer fill with no harsh shadows. If using only a 2-light system, a reflector can be used to bounce light back onto the subject. Reflectors are sometimes used with a fill light to ensure that no hard shadows are cast on the subject
- usually placed directly behind the subject, in line with the camera.
- is sometimes placed above the subject pointing down onto the head and neck of the subject.
- creates a "defining edge" to help visually separate the subject from the background, and should be adjusted so it creates a highlight around the top or side of the subject.
- is not a background light. It should not be used to light the back drop, it is only used to create a rim of light around the subject and is used to separate the subject from the background by giving it a 3-dimensional look.
Accent
- is optional
- to make the subject to come out/get away from the background/back
- the subject become 3D effect
