This is our second installment of our Lighting 101 series, where Lauren demonstrates seven standard lighting angles you should know when lighting a character for a scene.

It's not just about where you point your light-- the angle of your lighting determines where the light falls, and therefore the kind of shadows it creates. These two effects together can have a huge impact on your audience.

For those interested, the light we used was a Litepanel 1x1 Astra Soft Bicolor.
