I like the first image because it’s a good example of broad light. I like how the second image is centered nicely I believe it is butterfly light. The last image is a good example of wide angle distortion making her hand look extremely large compared to her face.

I put this photo in Lightroom and brought down the blacks significantly. I also cropped and adjusted the photo to make it straighter.

Short Light 
Rembrandt Light 
Broad Light 
Split Light
The hardest light angle for me was Rembrandt light. I kept moving around but couldn’t seem to get it right.

Wide angle distortion 
No wide angle distortion 

For the second image with no distortion I held the camera as far out as I could with my arm and then cropped it. For the last image I set a timer so I could get further back but it was difficult to make the camera focus on the flower.

Side light no fill 
Side light with fill 
Back light no fill 
Back light with fill
I used a sheet of printer paper as the fill and a ring light as the light source.
