Basic Lighting Scenario
3 Point Lighting
• Three point lighting is the ideal lighting scenario and includes hitting an object from 3 direc-
tions: two from the front and one from the back.
Key and Fill Light
• The two lights cast from the front are known as Key and Fill light and should be cast at a 45
degree angle.
• The objective of Key and Fill Light is to give the object a full, natural look.
Back Light
• The third light is referred to as Back Light and is usually cast at a 65 degree angle.
• Often overlooked, the objective of Back Lighting is to give the object a deep, 3 dimensional
look…
• Note: You should install Key and Fill lighting before you consider Back Lighting.
