Lighting

In this blog I will be explaining the different types of studio lighting

High key

High key light is a style used in photography to reduce shadows majorly or totally through unusual bright light which means that the pictures taken would lack in dark tones and have light tone which gives of a happy, innocent, and peaceful sentiment.

Low key

Low key is the opposite of high key as it mainly uses dark tones with shadows by making the illuminating light not as bright and focusing that light on a specific point and/or area in which usually gives of a moody dramatic or melodramatic sensation.

Rembrandt

Rembrandt light uses the light source to slightly be above the persons face in order for the person’s nose to block but also let some light past it which makes a triangular looking shape of light among the shadow on the person’s cheek.

(the shadow does not have to necessarily be this tone as the shadow tone can be slightly lit up by using reflection of light through a source of white material)

Split light

Split light is the basic good looking dramatic photography style which it uses a source of light to highlight half of the face and keep the other half in the shadow with a spot of light on the eye of the shadow half of the face.

Paramount

Paramount light which is also known as the butterfly light due leaving a butterfly like shadow under the nose was famously used in photoshoots and still is due to giving a good illumination/highlight of the face with slight high tones of shadows on someone's cheeks and a butterfly like shadow under the nose.
