key & Fill setup

The key light is the main light source providing most of the lighting for the subject.

The fill light complements the key light by reducing the shadows on the subject, usually placed on the opposite side of the key light.

Together, these lights work to control shadows and highlights on the subject.

key and hair setup

The hair light is usually placed behind or above the subject and directed towards the back of the head or hair.

It separates the subject from the background by providing light to the edge of the subject.

key & rim Setup

The rim light adds depth, separation, and a sense of dimension to the subject by creating a glowing outline along its edges.

It is usually placed behind or to the side of the subject, directed towards the subject's back.

The intensity of the light is high, allowing it to create a noticeable contrast.
