When using studio lighting, a key light is the main light that is used which is the brightest light in the room. A fill light can also be used to fill in the shadows. Reflectors can be used to bounce light back. A hair light makes a person stand out from the background. Background light adds light to the background which adds depth or can make a vignette.
Split lighting is not for everyone and can leave one eye in a shadow but makes a dramatic effect. Clamshell lighting is a classic two light technique where both lights are of equal intensity. Four light techniques are good for a variety of situations. One high backlight directed at white boards reflect light back. This is called a wrap around set up.
Different shades of skin also react differently to light and it is important to adjust accordingly.
