Broad lighting - Three quarter lighting technique

In many ways, broad lighting, the other three-quarter lighting technique, is the opposite of short lighting. The main light illuminates the side of the face turned toward the camera. Because most of the face is flooded with soft light, assuming you're using an umbrella or other diffuse light source, as you should, it deemphasizes facial textures (teenagers may love this effect) and widens narrow or thin faces.
