I have researched different lighting techniques to use in the studio so that the pictures I take of my models have different effects. Here are two that I found the most interesting and which I want to use:
The Butterfly/Clamshell Lighting
It is a soft and "female" key light, directed straight to the model's face, which allows to idealize the skin to a maximum.
The key light is placed right above the eye level, the fill-in one - below the key light. Reflector can also be put from the side. A symmetrical shadow from the nose is formed, which should reach half of the length to the lips.
The Loop Lighting
Loop Lighting helps broaden the face and works very well with narrow faces with ruddy skin. The loop from the nose area should not touch the shadow area on the side of the face. It is the most flattering light scheme. At the same time, it creates a nice three-dimensional effect of model's face and body.
