BUTTERFLY LIGHTING
- Face your subject at 7.8 view: Start by facing your subject directly to the camera, then turn the head just to hide the far ear. This view of the face is most flattering as it minimizes the face.
- Hold your off camera flash 1′ above your subject, and 3′ toward the front to eliminate any possible shadowing on the face. You will also create a shadow beneath the chin, thus hiding any excess weight there.
- Place a reflector just below the edge of your frame. The closer your reflector is to your subjects chin, the more even the spread of light. This reflector will soften that shadow and eliminate a harsh contrast.
- Light for catch lights: You want your subjects eyes to be well lit and fortunately, with the angle of your main light in front/above, and the fill light coming in from below, your subject should have large round catch lights in both the bottom and top part of the eye.
HATCHET LIGHTING
Side light is light coming from the left or right of the subject.When the light falls on one side of the subject, the other side is in shadow.
That placement of the subject into the light, or for example, having your subject turn their head away or into the light, is key to Rembrandt lighting in order to create the triangle shape of light underneath the eye. Usually that geometric shape of light is found on the eye furthest from the camera lens, but that is not a must in order to gain success with Rembrandt lighting. Success with Rembrandt lighting is geared more on ensuring that one side of the face is illuminated well from the main light source while the other side of the face sports a nose shadow, then a triangle of light underneath the eye, as the light fades to shadow on the side of the cheek.
