Lighting Glossary

Key Light - The main light used to light the subject
Beauty Dish - A circular dish which is flexible - if it's white it is more diffusive, if it is silver it has more contrasted directional lighting.
Diffusion Sock - The cover placed on the Beauty Dish, it makes the light more diffused (more even)
Honey Comb - Something put over the light to control the direction of the light, this restricts the direction of the light
Fill Light - The lighting placed under the Beauty Dish which fills in the shadows
Back Light - This light separates the subject from the background, it's behind the model and it lights up parts such as the hair.
