Side lighting and rim lighting.
Side lighting is light that falls on a subject at roughly a ninety degree angle to the camera. This means that one side of the subject will be lit and the other side will be in shadow.
This image of Ella Raines by Man Ray has extreme side lighting to nearly completely darken one side of the face.
Rim lighting is often also referred to as back light is simply light placed on the subject which gives the appearance of a light outline. This technique pulls the subject off the background and offers some depth and dimension to what you are shooting.
This image is by Paul Clarke and is a clever way of using rim lighting as you still get a sense of what the portrait is without fully seeing the subjects (people).

Research Images - 45 degree lighting and frontal lighting.
45 degree lighting or Rembrandt lighting is where the main light is placed higher than the models head and is directed down and at an angle of about 45 degrees. One characteristic of 45 degree lighting is the triangle of light from the main light that is on the shadow side f the subjects face.
Below are some images I have found that have been taken with 45 degree angled lighting.
The 1st image is by Brian Ingram.
The image was taken with a soft box and a silver reflector below chest level. I like the image as it is very detailed and shows every part of the mans face and focuses on his expression by having his neck and shoulders darker.

The 2nd image is by Alastair Mancoll.
I don’t think this image is the best, its pretty close up, doesn’t seem to be properly in focus and I find the shadow from the nose to be a bit too harsh.
The 3rd image is by Andreas Jorns.
The image was taken with the following settings - 1/350 sec at f/4, ISO 400.I think the image is really pretty and is such a nice portrait. The eyes look very striking and the shadows are all in the right places.

Frontal lighting is lighting that emanates either from behind the camera or from the camera itself. The shadows cast by frontal light are behind the subject, out of sight from the cameras point of view. Shadows help to give a sense of shape and form to a subject.
Below are some images using frontal lighting.
The 1st image is by Yanique Stewart.
I like the image is it is in perfect focus and really detailed. The expression in her face was captured really well.
The 2nd image is by William Sawalich.
The image looks vintage, Im not sure if it was taken on a specific camera or if the effect was added after but it looks very 90′s which I really like.
The 3rd image is by Ash Noble.
I think that harsh lighting like frontal looks better in black in white and I think if this image was it would be more dramatic and add to the expression that was captured.

Frontal lighting
Here I took photos with the soft box facing directly on the models face, the direction of the light leaves no shadows and focuses on the face where as 45 degree there is a soft shadow on one side of the face. I also used the reflector to bounce more light into the photo.

45 Degree Lighting with a Soft Box
The soft box placed at a 45 degree angle places a soft light on one half of the face and a shadow on the other. Here are some photos I took, F Stop 8, ISO 100 and 1/125.
The lighting is soft on the face and the shadow is quite harsh, the use of props made my photos more interesting.

Portraits
I have researched 4 different portraits and annotated on each.
The 1st is by Mou Aysha.
Aysha is using her skills to spotlight the vast numbers of street children in her country. Through moving portraits of children in Dhaka and the Bangladeshi countryside. The portrait is well lit, focused on the expression on her face and leaves you wanting to know more about the girl. You are instantly drawn into her eyes. It is window lit with soft light.

The 2nd portrait is by David Peterson.
This portrait is taken with studio lighting and is very hard lit. The image is very detailed and shows every detail of the woman.

This portrait was taken with outdoor (window lighting) so it it softly lit. The image is bright, soft and focused on the woman.

The 4th portrait is by Jason Fitzgerald.
This image has been taken with studio lighting and is hard lit. The portrait is detailed and emphasises the face and eyes and draws less attention to everywhere else.

Introduction to Studio Photography
The left dial controls the amount of light comes from the flash, doing this increases the power and you would adjust this to match your F Stop with your camera. The right dial controls the bulb light, you can have it off, always on or intermittan.
The bulb that looks like one you would have in your house is there to show you the direction of the light. The ring inside is the flash tube.
The green switch is the on off button, on the left of that is the switch for the bulb, you can have this on, off or in the middle which would be intermittent. The switch on the far left is to connect the light with others, it sends a trigger to a near by light so that they go off and flash at the same time. Above the switches the silver hole is to plug in your camera or your light meter.
