Split Lighting (9 or 3 o'clock): Split lighting involves setting a single light at either 9 or 3 o'clock, resulting in one side of the subject's head being illuminated.
Backlight or Rim Lighting (12 o'clock): When the light is behind your subject at 12 o'clock, it can result in beautiful rim lighting.
Butterfly Lighting (6 o'clock): Butterfly lighting results when you place a light source slightly above and in front of your model at 6 o'clock.
Clamshell Lighting: Clamshell lighting is achieved by combining butterfly lighting with a reflector or a light placed underneath as fill light.
Loop Lighting (5 or 7 o'clock): Loop lighting involves positioning the main light just above eye level at approximately 5 or 7 o'clock.
Rembrandt Lighting (4 or 8 o'clock): Named after the Dutch painter, achieved by placing the light closer to 4 or 8 o'clock.
Short Lighting: Involves positioning the light source similarly to Rembrandt lighting, but you also turn the subject towards the light.
Broad Lighting: Similar to short lighting, but the subject is slightly turned away from the light source.
Cross Lighting: Place the main light source at 4-5 o'clock and an edge light at 10-11 o'clock.
