Types of Lighting

 

What is the Rembrandt Effect?

Rembrandt lighting is a technique utilizing one light and one reflector or two separate lights. It's a popular technique because it creates images that look both dramatic yet natural. It's predominantly characterized by a lit-up triangle underneath the subject's eye on the less illuminated area of the face .
