Horror has been using uplight since its first inception because of the disturbing way uplight renders the human face.<\/p>\n<p>There is an uncanniness to the human face when you light it at an extreme angle (from below), that makes it seem less human. DPs and directors use horror uplight in subtle ways, as well. Sometimes we&#8217;ll see a character subtly lit from below when we first meet them, foreshadowing their reveal as the villain, later on.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"beauty-uplight\">Beauty Uplight<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_121059\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1435481342-1-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-121059\" class=\"wp-image-121059 size-full\" title=\"Exploring the Emotion and Beauty Behind Uplighting - Beauty Lighting\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1435481342-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Exploring the Emotion and Beauty Behind Uplighting - Beauty Lighting \" width=\"500\" height=\"752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1435481342-1-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1435481342-1-1.jpg?resize=199,300 199w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1435481342-1-1.jpg?resize=277,417 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1435481342-1-1.jpg?resize=359,540 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1435481342-1-1.jpg?resize=150,226 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-121059\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/black-white-vertical-close-headshot-blond-1435481342?src=wv-3komCNt42t4kRI2MCog-3-75\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">davide bonaldo<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>It may seem strange that uplight can make the face both ugly and beautiful, but uplighting is also common in beauty lighting as part of what\u2019s known as &#8220;Clamshell Lighting.&#8221; It gets its name from two similarly weighted lights in a top-and-bottom (or &#8220;clamshell&#8221;) arrangement. The top can sometimes be a stop brighter than the uplight, or they are evenly balanced. The important thing is to light the face evenly, which hides any imperfections and smooths the face to make it look flawless.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"emotional-uplighting\">Emotional Uplighting<\/h3>\n<p>Beauty lighting often uses a light bounced into a white or silver reflector to make the uplight less obvious, but you can also use a hard source that&#8217;ll be visible in the subject&#8217;s eye. The advantage of the &#8220;direct source&#8221; method is that you see a bright reflection in the eye of the uplight. If you use a circular light, such as a small beauty dish, it gives the subconscious impression of a tear in the bottom of the subject&#8217;s eye, making them seem emotionally vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>This can be hard to pass off as a natural, motivated lighting effect, but it can sometimes be worth it. Laptop screens or car dashboards are a good way to motivate it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"fill-uplight\">Fill Uplight<\/h3>\n<p>A final way to use uplight to further improve your lighting is as a fill light, with traditional top three-point or Rembrandt lighting. Filling from below can be a good way to add a subtle uneasiness to a scene. One method that has been showing up more and more in Hollywood BTS is placing a fill light on the bottom of the matte box. And, you can be sure it&#8217;s never going to show up in the shot because it&#8217;s attached to the camera.<\/p>\n<p>However you use uplight, you can be certain it&#8217;s going to make your shots more interesting.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Looking for more cinematography tips and tricks?
