Three- Point Lighting

Three- Point Lighting

Three- point lighting is a method used in media e.g., video, film, still photography and computer-generated imagery.  It is a simple technique using key light, fill light, and back light to cast different lighting on the subject.

In my production class, we were asked to execute and photograph three-point lighting. 

These two photos show all three of the lights. The key light (the light to the right) this is the primary light positioned over the interviewer (Jalen Ryant) and the guest (myself). The fill light is the center light and it used to to create the light across the guest's face.

These photos are close-ups used to show the light across the subjects face.

These photos show a different perspective on the video interview scenario. It allows you to see the subjects face and the camera.
