Three Point Lighting

In class we discussed 3 point lighting and what each lighting does. The back light is used to illuminate the space behind the subject's head so he/she stands out from the background. The key light is the primary light source and is positioned behind the interviewer's shoulder opposite the camera, to illuminate the subject's face. The fill light fills in the shadows created by the key light so the light is even across the subject's face.

 The lesson was demonstrated by classmates who volunteered to be the subjects. We took pictures from different angles capturing the different lighting at a time to see how each one worked. It was an interesting experience to see how much different lightings can do and how they make your photos look better. Here are my videos.
