Mood Lighting
Front Lighting: Light is placed near the lens and directly in front of the subject. This lighting flattens out the volume of the subject and minimizes textures.
Side Lighting: A light is placed at a 90 degree angle to the subject. This can look like the face is split in two. One side is completely in shadow and the other side is lit up. This emphasizes facial features and can reveal textures of the skin.
High Side Lighting: A main light stands at a 45 degree angle and a 45 degree angle above the subject. This is the classicc lighting for portraits.
Top Lighting: A light shines down directly down directly on top of the subject. Withe people it creates deep shadows in the eye sockets and under the nose and chin.
Under Lighting: Lit from below the subject. Creates odd looking shadows. Used to make things look more scary.
Back Lighting: Light is coming directly from the back of the subject.
