3 Point Lighting

Background Light – Light thats pointed towards the background, making the subject stand out from the back.

Fill Light – Reflects light coming from the key light on the shadow, brighting up the area and mood, so its not as dark or rugged.

Key Light – This is the main light used, that is pointed towards the subject. This often creates the brightest part of the photograph.
