a. A good alternative to using three-point lighting is shown in Figure

3-6.

Here, the key light for the interviewer is also the backlight for the

guest and the key light for the guest becomes the back light for the

interviewer. This eliminates two lighting instruments while still meeting the

key/back photographic principle.

b. Figure 3-6 further shows camera lights being used as the fill lights,

although reflectors could be used to perform this function, further reducing

the lighting instruments used.
