• Background light
• illuminate the background area of a set
• provide separation between the subject and the background
• Three-point lighting or 4-point lighting setup
• the background light is placed last and is usually placed directly behind the
subject and pointed at the background
• sense of depth to shots
• background light is usually of lower intensity
• back light

4. • Cameo Light
• Spotlight that accentuates a single person and maybe a few props in a scene
• Art form in which a light relief figure is set against a darker background
• It helps focus on the subject and not its environment
• A problem with cameo lighting is that it can lead to color distortion and noise
in the darkest areas
• difficult to move the camera around because the stand will be positioned
very close to the subject

6. • Rembrandt Light
• lighting technique that is used in studio portrait
photography
• using one light and a reflector, or two lights, and is
popular because it is capable of producing images which
appear both natural and compelling with a minimum of
equipment
• Use in Noir film
• A style called Chiaroscuro in the art world.
• use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually
bold contrasts affecting a whole composition
• High Key

8. • Silhouette Lighting
• All about backlighting
• The basic idea is that the background will be so bright that it overpowers the
foreground and the side of the subject
• keep the subject's identity a secret or show clandestine meetings
• Often shot during sunrise, sunset or blue sky
• light your background with flat lighting and place a backlight on your subject
