3. Rembrandt Lighting
REQUIRED

REQUIRED
The lighting is similar to
loop lighting, but with the
light source moved higher
and further left or right of
the face. It creates a strong
pattern characterized by a
small triangle of light that
appears under the eye on
the shadow side of the face,
along with a nose shadow
that nearly extends to the
corner of the mouth. This is
not an all-purpose lighting
and is probably best
reserved for character
studies and moody fashion
work.
4. Interview Lighting
REQUIRED
REQUIRED REQUIRED
REQUIRED
I have decided that all my interview photographs will be taken using butterfly lighting as it adds a
shine to the edge of the subject symbolizing he’s important, in this case the fact that he is an
interior designer. The subject will be sat down meaning that I will require a light shining from
underneath to give it a soft look while still keeping the necessary shadows underneath the nostrils
and the eyes.
