3 point lighting
key light - the strongest light. usually at a about 7 o'clock in relationship to the subject (looking from overhead).
fill light - a less strong light, typically placed around 4:30 in relationship to the subject. this light helps to drown out really strong shadows created by the key light.
back light - this light is also weak compared to the key light. it points toward the area behind the subject, lighting up background space and creating a greater sense of depth between the subject and the environment
when outside, how can you lower some high contrast/strong shadows?
use a bounce card to cast light on the dark areas of the subject
