with all of these photos I used this sort of set up its called Rembrandt lighting the point of taking these photos with Rembrandt lighting to experiment and to see how far my photography skills have come along I have done 2 photoshoot doing Rembrandt lighting one. with Rembrandt lighting you want to get a shadow on the side of the face it creates a sort of slimming effect with these photo i cut it off sort of around the knees to make it. this is the set up for butterfly lighting I used this lighting set up for the photos below when setting up this lighting set up I had to change the angle of the light to get good shadow but not over the top where you cant see the models face I also made the model hold a light reflector to make light hit the models eyes. with this there’s a shadow showing the models jaw line and under his neck this is what butterfly lighting you can see with this photo the model has barely any light in the models eyes however other photo I made the model hold a light reflector to get some light to hit his eyes.with this photo you can sort of see some light hit his eyes however I turned down the brightness a bit to get warm effect I think the photo turn out alright however if I had to choose between butterfly lighting or Rembrandt lighting I would choose Rembrandt lighting because I like the look of it and it makes nicer looking photos than butterfly lighting in my opinion.
