About Paramount or Butterfly Lighting

"Paramount Lighting, sometimes called Butterfly Lighting for the shape of the shadow it forms under the nose, is a female glamour lighting style. It works best for women with strong cheek bones and good skin. This lighting is not typically used with male subjects."

"Paramount Lighting helps flatten features and reduces textures, while giving a broad look to narrow faces. This type of lighting, made famous by Paramount Studios, helps emphasize cheek bones. You should see what appears to be a “butterfly” shadow under the nose. This butterfly should end half way between the upper lip and the nose. Your Key Light should be to the right of the camera, with a 45 degree angle and slightly high. The Fill Light should be higher and behind the Key Light source."
