Self Portrait by Rembrandt- Rembrandt lighting

We would use this lighting setup to render dramatic intensity, visual rhythms, and depth. Another important factor would be the emphasis of light and shadow. Light is focused on one side of the face creating a shadow effect on the other side of the object/person's face. 

I used the same lighting setup for this picture. camera in front light source in a diagonal fashion. This allowed for a rembrandt style photo. On one side of my face there was light amplified and the other side darkness.
