High-Key Lighting
Use multiple light sources to overexpose the background and minimize shadows on the subject.
Low-Key Lighting
Focus on using a single light source to create deep shadows and a moody atmosphere.
Side Lighting
Illuminate the subject from the side to emphasize texture and shape.
Backlighting
Place the light source behind the subject to create a silhouette or to highlight edges.
Loop Lighting
Position the key light slightly off-center to create a small shadow of the subject's nose on their cheek.
Split Lighting
Light only half of the subject's face, usually straight from the side, for a dramatic and moody look.
Butterfly Lighting
Position the key light above and directly behind the camera to create a small shadow under the nose.
Rembrandt Lighting
Use a single light source to create a small triangular light on the cheek opposite the light source, emulating the style seen in Rembrandt's paintings.
Soft Lighting
Soften the light with diffusers and bounce light off surfaces to reduce harsh shadows.
Hard Lighting
Use undiffused light to create stark contrast and defined shadows for a dramatic effect.
