- In a portrait photography lighting setup, the key light is the foundation. This is the primary source of illumination for your subject. The “key” is also the light that provides the most information about your subject’s features and shape. It’s the way the key light casts illumination AND shadows across your subject’s face that gives the viewer a sense of what your subject looks like as a real, three-dimensional person.

Butterfly lighting has gotten me through hundreds of national TV interviews with some pretty big names in Hollywood.
There are a lot of people with knowledge to share buy ...
... there are just a very few that can explain things so easy and so good like Ed over here.
Well done Ed and a nice weekend to all of you !
Ah, thank you so much. I always appreciate your comments. ☺
Yup!
I have been getting gear little by little, and I finally had the chance to actually use a flash and a small softbox (12") for a mini portrait session.
The key light position you mention worked like a charm for those pictures.
Thank you.

Hello, thank you so much for posting these informative vids. Would the one light technique (45 degree angle) be applicable to still life (floral boquet) photography?
Yes. That light position is just another way of saying place the light in a position to cast shadows the way we expect to see them.
@@edverosky okay! I appreciate the response. Photography has been the hard part of this whole journey (took out 401k after I lost job and am putting all cards on deck as a floral designer. Your videos are fantastic and the breakdowns are perfect for a newb!!!
