ABSTRACT

The direction of light decides where the shadows will fall and its source can be described by its relative position to the subject. The light may be high, low, to one side, in front of or behind the subject. The subject may be lit by a single light source or more than one. This additional light may be reflected back onto the subject from a nearby surface or may be shining directly onto the subject from a second light source, e.g. a flash mounted on or near the camera.
