The concept of the Three Point Lighting technique consists of the key light which is considered to be the main source of light. It is usually the strongest and has the most influence on the overall quality of the lighting. It also consists of a fill light which is the secondary source of light and is usually placed on the opposite side of the key light. It is used to soften the shadows created by the key. The fill light is commonly softer than the key light. And the final element of the three point lighting is the background light which is placed behind the subject. Rather than providing direct lighting like the key and fill, its purpose is to provide definition and subtle highlights around the subject's outlines. This helps separate the subject from the background and provide a three-dimensional look.
