Key Light
Key light is one of the most important things that a Cameraman/Photographer could use in a lighting setup. The purpose of 'Key Light' is to directly aim at the person or at the object, to highlight certain parts of the face, or components of the object.
Key Light often only uses one light only that is directed diagonally in front of the person/subject, and the camera is placed in front of them. The position of the person/object can also effect the presentation of the photo/video.
Fill Light
In film or photographic lighting, a fill light may be used to reduce the contrast of a scene. It is usually used to fill in the darkness on one side of the person/object, They usually use this technique in things like films, staging and interviews. This photo is a great example of Fill light
Backlight
Backlight is a form of illumination, where a light is placed behind the person/object. Any light can be used as a light, from natural to un-natural, the light is usually placed above the person/object, they can also be placed directly behind the subject so it gives it a bright glowing silhouette effect. They can also be referred to a hair lights.
