to imagine breaking an image down into thirds (both
horizontally and vertically) so that you have 9 parts.

Cropping photos
- Crop a shot below the knee, mid-thigh, at the waist, across
forearm, or through the top of head.
- Avoid cropping at any of the joints of the body. This includes
fingers, toes, elbows, knees and wrists, and through the

CHARACTERISTICS OF LIGHT
1. Direction
2. Color
3. quantity
4. quality
Lowkey lighting
It is much more dramatic.
It typically involves lots of contrast and creates an entirely
different mood than high key lighting.
Its transition from highlight to shadow is much quicker and
more dramatic — and harsh.
Highkey lighting
It is a method often used in beauty and makeup commercials
and in comedies.
Gives fewer shadows and makes the model look flawless and
elegant.
It produces an even amount of light that spreads across an
entire scene.
It’s also useful for producing food or product imagery when you
need the light to be even across the entire scene.

KEY LIGHT – main source of light that is used to light up your

subject. The light pattern will depend on where you place it.
Usually, it is placed slightly above your subject and about 45
degrees from the camera off to one side so as it would create
shadows and depth making your subject appear 3-dimensional.

FILL LIGHT– fills in the shadows of your frame

BACK LIGHT– gives an edge light to the rear portion of your

subject. Often, the backlight shoots down from a higher angle
