Studio lighting- advanced techniques

For this shoot we were split into groups to do lighting workshop using professional studio lighting equipment.

Rembrandt lighting - light is high and aimed at the side of the models face which is facing away from the camera.

Hollywood lighting - light is moved further around the subject so its just off centre.

Butterfly lighting - light is high and directly in front of the subject, presenting a distinct butterfly-shaped shadow under their nose.

Side lighting - where the light is pushed either to the left or right of the subject.

Rim lighting- brings out an outline of the subject and creates a silver lining effect.
Hair lighting- position the light above and slightly behind the subject and aim it towards the hair to bring out the texture and detail.
