3.  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

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

5.  Hard light : Wraps around subject but creates harder edges
