Rembrandt lighting uses a single light source to illuminate a portrait subject, characterized by a shadowy face and a triangle of light on one cheek.
This lighting pattern is effective for creating drama in a portrait, with the shadows introducing a sense of mystery and emotion.
Control over light positioning is essential; if positioned incorrectly, the hallmark triangle of light will not appear, negating the Rembrandt effect.
Using movable lighting, such as strobe or continuous light, simplifies achieving the desired Rembrandt look, as opposed to relying solely on ambient light.
