Portrait Lightings –I.  Forget the “on-camera-flash.” Most good portraits are made with the light source off the camera.
Here, the light is placed to the left of the subject .  Notice the depth that the shadow on the right gives.
This portrait was made with two lights. One to the right of the subject and up high. The other to the left of the subject and down low. Notice how the right side is bright where the left side is a bit grayer .
This portrait was made with one light, off the camera. Notice, again, the depth created by the shadow area.
