Go to a completely dark room with a mirror, light a candle and stand in front of the mirror. (I know this is how every horror film starts but I promise it’s not a scary exercise) Wherever that candle is in relation to yourself will determine the positioning of the light in your photograph as it’s the only source of light you have. Remember that sometimes you can move the light source and other times you have to move the subject to alter the position of the light or to change the mood of your photograph. For this exercise we will only move the light source so you can watch the effect it has in the mirror.
