Types of Light:


Ambient light- Ambient light is the light that exists in a scene. Also referred to as “natural light” or “existing light,”


Main Light- is the name given to the unit that lights the most important part of an image


Fill Light- can be used to reduce the contrast


Diffused Light- light that is not harsh and direct, it has been softened in some way


Ceiling Bounce-when, rather than firing your flashgun pointing directly at your subject, you point it elsewhere typically up or at an angle, bouncing off a wall or ceiling. The objective is to “bounce” light to soften it before it hits your subject.


Background Light- A background light is used to illuminate the background area of a set. The background light will also provide separation between the subject and the background


Hair Light- used to light up the hair. A hair light is generally placed behind the model and about 3 feet above the head, with the light angled down and slightly forward to strike the top of the head and shoulders.


Natural Light- Harsh light that intensifies the contrast between light and shadows and can be very unflattering.
