Third Light

Third Light typically refers to a term in the context of photography and visual arts, describing the use of a third light source in lighting setups. In photography, lighting is crucial for creating the desired mood and depth in an image. The first two lights often serve as the key and fill lights, illuminating the subject. The third light, often called a hair light or background light, adds dimension by highlighting specifics like hair or the background, enhancing the overall composition. Properly using a third light can elevate photographic quality and ensure subjects stand out more distinctly.
