One of the most useful link I use in many of my projects is without a doubt the 3 point lighting technique. 3 point lighting is a very simple and effective lighting technique that will light your subject without too much contrast and will separate it from the background. To achieve this, you'll basically need 3 lights, the "key" light, the "fill" light and the "back" light. The "key" light is the main 来源 of light and will cast a shadow when pointed to your subject. It could be a lighting fixture 或者 a natural 来源 like the sun. The "fill" light will fill the shadows created 由 the "key" light and finally the "back" light will make your subject pop out from the background. The 3 point lighting is your starting point. Every situation is different so start from what 你 have and get creative!
