Portrait Lighting

Butterfly Lighting:

For the Butterfly lighting setup, we had a main light set above the head and a bounce below to fill in the shadows on the underside of the face. 

Loop Lighting:
With the loop lighting, we used a fill and a main light, and had a light set right above the head as a hair light to give the "loop" of this style.

Three Point Lighting:

With this style, we just moved the overhead light and made it the back light, filling in the background.

Short Lighting:

Just for fun, we also did short lighting, which we only used one main light to get the shadows on the face (we didn't even need the fill because of all the ambient light in the room).
