Butterfly lighting is aptly named for the butterfly shaped shadow that is created under the nose by placing the main light source above and directly behind the camera. It is most often used for glamour style shots and to create shadows under the cheeks and chin.
* Loop Lighting

* Rembrant Lighting
Rembrandt lighting is so named because Rembrandt the painter often used this pattern of light in his paintings, as you can see in his painting. Rembrandt lighting is identified by the triangle of light on the cheek.
* Split Lighting
Split lighting is exactly as the name implies – it splits the face exactly into equal halves with one side being in the light, and the other in shadow. It is often used to create dramatic images for things such as a portrait of a musician or an artist. Split lighting tends to be a more masculine pattern and as such is usually more appropriate or applicable on men than it is for women.
