Low Key Lighting

1. One light to the side of the subject with a reflector on the opposite side filling in the shadows slightly. Must be careful with the light hitting the backdrop with this lighting set up. If the reflector is moved slightly the Rembrandt lighting technique can be achieved.
2. "Butterfly lighting". Just one softbox high above the subject. A reflector can be placed below the models chin to fill in the shadows if desired.
3. A softbox high above the subject with a light behind them to create a rim of light around the subject.
4. A variation of 3, changin the softbox to a simple reflector for a darker image.
5. Rembrandt lighting with back lighting.
