Three Point Lighting Principle

Three point lighting is ideal for single subject interviews. Often called triangle lighting, it contains three lights around the subject that arm an isosceles triangle. All three lights shine down on the subject at 45 degree angles.
The main light is called the Key Light. It's the brightest one out of all three. It shines directly on the subject from the front. The Fill Light is at an opposite angle to the key light shining on the front of the subject. It removes falloff and softens shadows created by the key light. The backlight helps make the subject stand out from the background and adds focus to the silhouette of the subject's hair and shoulders.

Raster images are composed of pixels (little tiny squares of color), while Vector graphics are defined using paths (geometrics areas defined by curves and lines). They have many differences including editing software (raster uses apps such as Adobe Photoshop and vector uses t...
