3 point Lighting

During Our in-class portrait shoot we learned the different aspects of lighting. We did a fill light, broad light, and background light. With the fill light we added light to the shadow that was on side of the subjects face using a round reflector. This controlled the brightness of that shadow. The broad light was simple because we just placed a light source on side of the subjects face of a visible ear. This adds light to the subjects hair. Background light is also simple where we just added light to the background which separates the subject from the background and adds depth to the photograph.
