Bria King -LL5 PotraitBasics

We used 3-point portrait lighting, background light, the main light, and the reflector. Key or main light is basically the front of your subject. The subject has to be facing the camera in order for the main light to work. The key triangle creates a triangle shadow on the opposite side of the face. Broad lighting is placing the light on one side of the subject. It creates a shadow on the shorter side of the face. Fill light is when you use a reflector to add light to the shadows showing up on the subject. The reflector lights up the darker side of the face. The gold fill light creates a warmer tone, and the silver light is very bright. The closer you place the reflector to the subject, the brighter the fill appears. Background light makes the subject pop out against the very bright white. It also creates separation between the subject and the background. It almost looks like a glow around the subject.
