Three Point Lights, Camera and Action!

Three point lighting was fun to do in class. The class looked over a diagram that truly helped us understand it. This assignment consisted of a key light, fill light and back light. It is also mainly used for interviews. 

The Key light, also your main light is positioned behind and left to your interviewer. 

The Fill light fills in the shadow created by the Key Light. 

The Backlight will be behind your subject, which illuminates the back of your subject’s head.

Check out this video I shot during the three point lighting assignment.

Constance Maybin and Jordan Beagle are the featured subjects in the photos. Constance/Connie is a great muse, the reason why she is always a chosen subject for projects. Adjust lighting if necessary, but if you follow the steps correctly you most likely won't need to.
