3 Point Lighting







I used the spot lights to position my lights, using panel- look through selected. I also experimented with area lights as they mimic the use of real lights within a photography studio. I found that I did not achieve an even enough cover of light using this method. The tutorial I was following using the area lights had the wolverine character placed within a white box room, so this may have been a contributing factor since light is able to reflect off of each wall onto the character.

1. The back light, this is placed behind the character, either on the left or right side to avoid it shining into the camera, this lights the rear of the character to make them look less flat

2. The Key Light, this light is off to the side opposite of the back light, it lights the character's side and helps provide full coverage so there are no shadows.

3. The front light, this light stays either directly under or beside the camera facing the character, it fully illuminates their face and figure, and is usually a little dimmer than the other lights to avoid glare, or blinding the subject if used in a real life scenario.
