Broad Lighting: Subject's face is slightly turned away from the center, and the side of the face that is turned towards the camera (is broader) is in the light. Used to make the face look wider.
Butterfly Lighting (with a bounce): Comes directly above and in front of the subject's face. Creates shadows that come directly below the subject's facial features. The lighting set up gets its name from the butterfly shaped shadows underneath the nose.
Rembrandt Lighting: Using one light and a reflector to create an illuminated triangle under the eye of the subject on the less illuminated side of the face.
Short Light: A main light that illumates the side of the face that is turned away from the camera.
Silhouette: The view of the subject consists of an outline and a featureless interior, usually with the silhouetted subject being black.
Split Lighting: Splits the face exactly into equal halves with one side being in the light and the other in shadow. Tends to be a more masculine pattern and is often used with portraits of artists or musicians.
