There are different angles you can use to get the best out of the lighting. There are three main areas:
Side light:
- Depending on the angle of the light source, part of your subject will be in light and part shadows. It helps to bring out the texture and emphasizes contour, creating a more dimensional photograph.
- To produce a dramatic effect on your photos, use photography lighting from the side.
- In order to achieve this type of dramatic impact, pose your subject in front of a window, with one of their shoulders facing the camera.
- You can rotate the subject relative to the window, in order to achieve different intensities of light and shadow on their face.
- The other is to use natural lighting without a flash to produce an overall softened effect.
- Using something like a white reflective surface will reflect light onto the darkened side of the face and produce an added depth to your photographs.
Back lighting is the process of illuminating the subject from the back. In other words, the lighting instrument and the viewer face each other, with the subject in between. This creates a glowing effect on the edges of the subject, while other areas are darker.
Front lighting: The shadows cast by frontal light are behind the subject, out of sight from the camera’s point of view. Shadows help to give a sense of shape and form to a subject. This produces a shadow behind the person and is often used to bring out the details but wont show the texture or shape of the subject as much.
