This method has been widely applied by professionals, you new to know this. The lightning ngetet is simple, but it has a big effect to the detail of the resulting image. So, you should know first about this 3 point lightning method.

Light key light results are also brighter than other lights. This key light has a function to make the object appear brighter and more detailed in the resulting image. In addition, the key light also has a function to make light or dark from each side of the object to be photographed.

  • Common Smoothing Lights Called Fill light. There is another name of fill light, in other terms commonly called secondary light.

In order for its position to fill the key light, the location selected for fill light must be opposite from the main light. Because of its only secondary light, the selected light is not as bright as the key light. The emission generated by the fill light must be lower than the main light, this let the light does not collide with each other which can even higher contrast levels.

This shadow is produced from a combination of key light and fill light. If it's like this, all you need is back light. Called back light because the location is behind the object.
