Three point light is created by using a main light, a fill, and a background light. When the main light is on the model, it creates shadows on the side of the face furthest from the light so a fill is used – the reflected light brightens the shadowed side of the face. The background light separates the model from the background by putting light between them and the background that casts on to their shoulders. The three point lighting provides for photos well lit from each angle.
I think that this is a good photograph because of the light and shadows created by the main light. To take this photo, we placed the main light about 45 degrees away from the camera so that the side of his face to the right of the photo is in shadow. We also raised the camera so that we’re looking down at him which added to the feeling & helping to make him look like he was deep in thought.
