Rembrandt Lighting

Rembrandt lighting is technique of lighting which uses two lights(,or just one as well as a reflector). The key light (or main light) is placed at a 45 degree angle from the subject or model, the second light is placed eye-level to the model. This creates lighting mainly on one side of the face, and highlighting parts of the other side of the face. It makes a triangle of light on the darker side of the face, naming it after the painter Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn's style of portraits.
