1. STUDIO LIGHTING TERMINOLOGY
One of the first steps to getting your studio lighting correct is learning the language within aspects and concepts of lighting in itself. It’s easy for lighting terminology to sound like another language to a newcomer, but with a little practice, you’ll soon be speaking it like a native. Now, here are the most commonly used lighting terms….

2. Spot Light Bounce Light
Most people think of the theater when they hear this word, and they’re not far off. The spot light is the main light which directly focuses and hones in on the subject, rather than being diffused. It’s the most intense lighting option.
Bounce Light
Bounce lights are commonly used to illuminate a photography background. This light is reflected by another surface before it hits the backdrop. Because the light bounces off another surface, it is less intense than a spot light. Exactly how much the light diffuses will depend both on the original light source and the bounce surface. Since a bounce light does not cause strong shadows, it is often used as a fill light.

3. Flood Light
A flood light hits a subject directly, similarly to a spot light. However, its light spans a broader scope, making it softer and less intense. When targeting a specific subject, there are fewer edgy shadows present. Flood lights are also very useful for lighting large areas.

4. “Too hot” is a critical phrase many photographers use to describe patches of light in their image that are more bright than intended. It has nothing to do with the “heat” of an image. These hot spots may be identified either during the shooting process while the studio lighting is being set up or while editing digital photos later.

5. Content acquirement Practice + check
Student Task: Complete the following Chart relating Light Terminology to Visuals. There are four terms you have learned in this presentation (Teacher), discussed amongst each other (Peers) and now individually apply your best understanding of Light Terminology.
Reason: You want to be able to identify these basic studio light terminology words in order to complete future assignments in this course (hands-on) using special lighting equipment.
Instructions: In each section you are to past the visuals and identify the terminology word right next to it followed by your own description. There are four terms and eight images (two images per term). If you choose to put two images in one section right by each other, that is okay, just indicate on the description Left Image: Description and Right Image: Description.
