Lighting techniques
Rembrandt
Named after a painter (or painters under his name!) known for the triangle of light on one cheek.
Loop
Creates a loop next to the nose (my picture's slipping into Rembrandt a bit, this wasn't intentional).
Flat
Bog-standard lighting.
Butterfly
Supposedly more feminine-looking lighting, used often with classical female actresses. Makes a small butterfly shape below the nose.
Raccoon
Generally a lighting mistake, having the light source too high up.
Half-and-half
An interesting way to present mysterious characters or someone with secrets.
Spooky lighting (EXTRA)
I just thought this one looked funny.
