Rembrandt Portrait Lighting – Rembrandt lighting is a name given
to the lighting effect that the old master used to use for the lighting
effects in many of his paintings. It’s basically short lighting where
the shadow from the nose connects with the shadow on the side of
the face, thus creating a triangle of light on the short side of the
face. If the nose shadow does not connect with the cheek shadow,
it’s not considered to be Rembrandt lighting, just short lighting.
Split Portrait Lighting – There will be a patch of light cast onto the shadow
side of the face. If the main light is placed so far off to the side of the
subject and only half the face is lit, then it is considered to be “Split”
portrait lighting. With split lighting, it really doesn’t matter to which side
of the camera the nose is pointing or if the lit or shadow side of the face is
facing toward the camera. Either of these situations would be considered
split portrait lighting.

Magic HourHOMEWORK 1
Using natural light to create lighting effects…
Sitting by a
doorway and
having an unlit
room in the
background is
perfect lighting.
The light is coming
from an open door
to camera left. The
plain wall helps
keep the viewer's
attention on the
Tibetan Monk.
Using windows to
create dramatic
soft or strong
lighting depends
on your exposure.
Candid is an un-posed photograph;

High key refers to a style of photography that utilizes
predominantly light tones to create a dramatic looking
image. High key lighting seeks to over light the subject
to the point of reduced contrast.
HOMEWORK #5
Low key refers to a style of photography that utilizes
predominantly dark tones to create a dramatic looking image.
Where high key lighting seeks to over light the subject to the point
of reduced contrast, low key lighting intensifies the contrast in an
image through intensely reduced lighting.
