When you have a strong main source of light (bright sun, for example) different effects are produced depending on where the light falls in relation to the subject and the camera.
There are four basic categories of light direction: front light, Sidelight, backlight, and toplight.
What type of lighting is considered by many to be the best type for portrait photography?
A) 45° side lighting
B) 90° side lighting
C) Frontlighting
D) Toplighting
A) 45° Sidelighting
The 45° side light is the most effective light for a revealing textures and form. The more to the side the light is the more dramatic the difference between Light and shadow. When the light is at 45° to the subject, the difference between light and dark causes shapes to take on Tonal quality is that emphasize their form, producing what’s called a modeling effect. The texture of the surface is subtly brought out.
