Key light set
up, list of positions
1. Glamour lighting/ butterfly lighting (creates
a small shadow under the nose and provides even lighting all across the model’s
face. Light positioned above the subject head, facing straight on)
2. Loop light (creates more shadows on the side
of the subjects’ face. Light positioned above the model’s face and angled about
25 degrees either side of front on)
3. 45 degrees/ Rembrandt lighting (lights a side
of the subject’s face and leaves the other in the shadows but there’s a
triangle of light just below the eye. (light positioned above the subjects head
and angle 45 degrees from straight on)
4. Split light/ side light (lights one side of
the face but leaves the other in complete shadow, makes a really moody picture;
(light positioned above the subject facing the side of the face)
Separation
light (positioned directly opposite the key light at the same height, adds
definition to the subjects hair, similar to a snoot)
Back ground
light (position the light behind the subject out of sight, shine the light
against the background so there’s a glow around the head and shoulders of the
subject so there’s more separation between the two.)
