"So after you've experimented with using a single light in your studio, you may want to upgrade to using multiple lights. Multiple lights has its advantages but you have to be careful because if you do too much you can take away from your subject or create some effects that you're not really looking for. The main advantage of using more than one light is that you can eliminate some shadows. So say I have this light coming at me from the front, I'm going to have some shadows in different parts of my body where this light is not able to capture everything. So what I might want to do for a multiple source of light is to have a light behind me also coming through that is going to help accentuate almost like a halo look around someone's head and it will also drop some of the shadows out. Now an important thing to consider when using multiple lighting in a studio, or anywhere for that matter, is that you want to add the lights one at a time. Start with your main light, usually the front light, and then add additional lights one at time. It's important to do it one at a time so you can see how each light affects the image, and it's also important to remember not to take it too far and use too many lights and just to get crazy with the lights."
