There are 2 main types of lighting are often used by photographers, namely:

  • High Key is a scene that looks more inclined to bright. The effects of high key lighting is relatively little a shadow, but it is important also some dark parts as that is not an indication that the high key over exposed.

  • Low Key is the opposite, just the part - the part that subjects given sufficient light, while the - the other in the dark shadows. It often happens also to get the misconception that low key effect is to make the under-exposed, the correct ratio is the ratio between dark and light.
Lighting has several functions, among others:

  • Key Light, is the main source of light for a certain character somewhere in the scene. If the object moves then use some key light

  • Fill Light, aim to fill (fill) the shadows caused by the key light. Because it must be avoided in order not to give rise to a new shadow, it is usually placed near the camera. Fill light can also use a soft light source. The quality of the soft light that does not cause a shadow to give freedom in the placement.

  • Back Light, placed above or behind the object to shed light on the head or over the shoulder.
In the lighting is sometimes necessary special effects. Another light effect that is often used is Eye Light, a small lamp with a strong light placed near the camera. Because the light is weak then he raises the fill light in the eyes of the actor, as well as its reflection would make her eyes sparkle. Last is the background light or light set, to give light on the wall or furniture.
