 Background lighting : provide separation between the subject and the background; placed directly behind the subject and pointed at the background.  Cameo lighting : a spotlight that accentuates a single person in a scene.

 Key light : highlights the form and dimension of the subject; supposed to represent the sun; main light on a subject  Back light : light positioned above and behind the subject; will cast a glow on the subject, making it look 3-D instead of blending into the background  Fill light : Illuminates shadowed areas that key light will cast; gives a more 3-D look

 Soft light: tends to "wrap" around objects, casting shadows with soft edges

 Hard light : Wraps around subject but creates harder edges

 Low key light: accentuates the contours of an object by throwing areas into shade while a fill light or reflector may illuminate the shadow areas to control contrast

 High-key lighting: free from dark shadows; creates an upbeat mood
