One of the secrets to great lighting is the 3-point lighting technique used by all the pro’s.  Basically it means:

1. Using a strong “key” light, predominantly lighting one side of your subjects face/body (left, right, it doesn’t matter)
2. Then, a weaker “fill” light on the other side (1/2 to 1/3 as much light) achieved by moving the fill-light back farther than the key-light achieving he infamous 3:1 lighting ratio on their face
3. And behind, a  “rim” or “back” light set at low power in back your subject, a couple feet above their head. Use this to outline your subjects head/body with light, creating separation from the background–one of the most important pro-lighting techniques.

Take it up a notch with our VARIABLE WATTAGE DIMMER and take full-control of the coveted “3-to-1” lighting ratio (or any other lighting ratio) in your 3-point lighting system without having to move your lights backward or forward on your model.
