quiz 2

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
