fill lights
Fill lights are a type of lighting used in photography and film to reduce shadows and provide even illumination. They are typically softer and less intense than key lights, which are the main sources of light in a scene. By filling in the shadows created by the key light, fill lights help to create a more balanced and natural look.
In a typical lighting setup, fill lights can be positioned opposite the key light to soften the contrast. They can be created using various tools, such as reflectors, softboxes, or LED panels. Proper use of fill lights enhances the overall quality of the image, making it more visually appealing.
