One light source

This is an example of one light source photography. In this photo the light source seems to be coming from the right side of the photo and is shinning diagonally on the subject. This makes it so that the main parts of the subject that are facing the light are illuminated while the parts farthest away are much darker. It also make the right side of the picture much lighter than the left side.
