“Rembrandt lighting” is a lighting technique used alongside “Butterfly lighting” it is distinct by an illuminated triangle and can be achieved by using one or two lights alongside a reflector.
in these photos I used triangular lighting to make the subjects facial features stand out, I had a low shutter speed and a constant light, when editing I decided to go for a vintage effect due to the subject wearing a vintage coat from the 90s, this photo could have been used in a ad for the coat.
In this photo I am using butterfly lighting,
this means the light (constant) was positioned above my models head to create the shadow of a butterfly under there nose.
My model was wearing a full black outfit and there was a black background so the butterfly lighting helped highlight him and his features, stopping him from getting lost in all the black going on in the photo.
