Rembrandt lighting is a classic technique used in photography and film to create a distinctive pattern of light on a subject's face. The light source is positioned at a 45-degree angle to the subject and slightly above eye level, resulting in a triangle of light on the cheek opposite the light source. This technique leaves the side of the face closer to the light source in shadow, creating a dramatic, three-dimensional effect. Rembrandt lighting is named after the painter Rembrandt, who famously used this style in his portraits to enhance depth and highlight facial features.
