Spot light in this sort of photography is known to show
loneliness as you can see in this image he is by himself. Spot lighting is used when you are trying to highlight a single main prop/model on stage. Back Lighting
Back lighting is used to create either a
happy mood or a very relaxed mood. This can be created by positioning a light behind the person (either artificial or natural) and then taking the photo. Side lighting
Side lighting is when a light hits a
subject on one side/in one spot. One side will be lit but the other side is in the shadow. This could be a way to show 2 different moods are clashing together, a dark and light side to a person. Soft/Diffused lighting
Soft lighting is when the
lighting is not filtered at all (is also called hard lighting) but diffused is when the lighting is covered by a thin layer. It creates a much more sombre and relaxed mood when taking these photos.
