LIGHTING STRATEGIES: Placing the Fill Light for Faces
Placing a fill light properly is possibly more important than placing a key light… and I can prove it!
In this article I wrote about classical key light placement and classical portraiture to illustrate how artists and cinematographers have traditionally gone about lighting faces. Fill light is often derided as the light that simply opens up the shadows, but it can do much more than that. It can have a shape and beauty all its own, and it can save you when your key light placement is not optimal.
