Background lighting: provide separation between the subject and the background; placed directly behind the subject and pointed at the background.
Cameo lighting: a spotlight that accentuates a single person in a scene.
Key light: highlights the form and dimension of the subject
Back light: highlights to form and dimension of the subject from a back angle
Fill light: Illuminates shadowed areas for a more 3-dimensional look
Soft light: tends to "wrap" around objects, casting shadows with soft edges
Hard light: Wraps around subject but creates harder edges
Low key light: accentuates the contours of an object by throwing areas into shade while a fill light or reflector may illuminate the shadow areas to control contrast
High-key lighting: free from dark shadows; creates an upbeat mood
