Lighting is an important factor when it comes to photography as the amount of lighting in a photo can be responsible for a creating a mood or atmosphere. 

Various examples of lighting techniques are things such as spotlighting, in which an amount of light is directly pointed towards the subject, which in turn can create shadows and create an overall mood for the picture.

Another technique is clamshell lighting in which you use multiple soft boxes and reflectors, by using reflectors you reduce the harsh light which can come from your light source and your subject will have a softer tone of lighting on their face, which in turn gives a smoother look to your photographs.
