Lecture
So for this post I'll be elaborating about lights that people normally use for a studio shoot.

Lets start with

• Main Light - A primary light. Whenever you're shooting a still life or a person. Remember to put up this light first as it lightens most part of the image

• Fill Light - Relieve the shadow area from the main light which will reduce the contrast. Can Produce details in shadow areas, and will also be a reflector bouncing of the main light

• Rim Light - Produce silhouettes around the object which will reveal its shape. 

• Hair Light - Its obviously for the hair. To lighten up and give texture to the hair.

Exercise

So, we where told to choose 1 studio picture in between the 40s and 50s. We have to imitate everything, the lights, the pose, the clothes and even the make up. So, my task is to shoot a picture of my friend, using the lights that we've learned earlier. Check it out below.
