4 Common Portrait Lighting Patterns

Create a new blog post titled: Portrait Lighting Patterns

1. In your own words, explain to your viewers what the following portrait lighting patterns look like AND how to achieve them (where do you place the light in relation to subject & camera, etc.). Consider these explanations as notes for yourself to reference later.

  • Flat
  • Butterfly
  • Loop
  • Rembrandt
  • Split
  • Broad Lighting
  • Short Lighting

2. Next you will need to search for a portrait example for each of the lighting techniques we covered using online images. YOU CAN’T USE THE PORTRAIT EXAMPLES IN THE ARTICLES ABOVE! I suggest searching images by typing “studio portrait lighting” or “portrait lighting”.

You may have to use the Snipping Tool if the photo you saved doesn’t upload to Edublogs. Save them to your OneDrive and change their file name to the pattern it demonstrates.

3. Upload them as a gallery making sure to caption each portrait with the light pattern it demonstrates and always change the link to media file. Columns 4, size thumbnail.
