Three-point lighting
A classic lighting setup using key, fill, and back lights.
What is three-point lighting?
Three-point lighting is a standard technique using key light (main illumination), fill light (shadow reduction), and back/rim light (subject-background separation). This versatile setup creates dimension and professional-looking images. It forms the basis for most product photography lighting.
