Single Light Source
This image of the model Bruna, is an example of a single light source. The main light is coming from an almost 45 degree angle which creates shadows across the left side of the photograph. The angle of the single light source adds nice depth to the image, as well as a more serious mood.

Multiple Light Sources
This photo by David Briggs was specifically created to show the effects of multiple light sources. You can see the two different shadows that are created because of the lighting. One is smaller and darker, implying that the one light source is at a higher angle, while the second light source is at a less severe angle, creating a longer and dimmer shadow. All of this added depth is from the multiple light sources, which, like the single light source, creates a more visually interesting photo.
