Understanding the KEY LIGHT, FILL LIGHT, and HAIR LIGHT (and Rim/Kicker) for Portrait Photography

Arguably the most important lights in your setup are the Key, Fill, and Hair/Rim lights. I've compiled three of my lighting tutorials into this short video to help explain the purpose of each light.

    Great video, I was told years ago that the fill light was always placed on axis with the camera to avoid any conflicting light patterns, thanks again.

    Once again another great instructional video. Would love to see one on dealing with glasses. When I have a portrait or headshot session I always raise my lights to avoid catching the softbox in the glasses, but then I’m dealing with longer shadows under the nose and chin. Using the fill will soften them but it’s not the look I’m going for. Maybe you have some ideas?

    Hi Ed, Great and great teacher! I subscribed immediately. Can you provide starting f/stops for Key Light, Fill Light, Background and Hair Light? I am going to purchase a Sekonic Meter which will help, but I would like to get a reference f/stop setting to start. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge, Ed!

    Sorry if this seems flippant. But, could there be a Vermeer pattern? And, would that be a sub-category of the Rembrandt pattern? Sorry, I just prefer Vermeer over Rembrandt.

    I’m sure there could be. It’s just a label someone came up with to describe the look. There’s also a “loop” lighting pattern you might look up.
