The Queen's Gambit - the photographers perspective on framing and composition

Robert Hall sees it on Facebook and on Instagram. He gets it in the comments of his videos here. "What was the power of your flash?" Aside from the obvious fact that it's silly to expect any photographer to remember their specific flash output from a single photo. He means they are busy managing lighting positions, making visual decisions, communicating with a subject, etc. And he doesn't know a single photographer who keeps field notes of their flash power in a digital era where people can rattle off hundreds of photos per hour.

Everyone has a name for every position where they place a flash on location and in the studio. But not everyone agrees on every name and this jargon can be sort of confusing.
Before we get started today, for the purpose of this discussion, we’re going to talk about lighting positions as hours on a clock with the photographer standing at 6 o’clock and the subject in the middle.
The key light or main light got their name because they are the key or main light in your set up. It’s normally going to be the light hitting your subject’s face and it’s brightness is going to determine your exposure. Often times people will use a softbox or beauty dish for this type of light.
The key light is usually going to be somewhere between four and 8 o’clock and if you’re using a beauty dish it doesn’t have to be at 6 o’clock, it can be wherever you wanna put it, it’s just a modifier like every other modifier after all.
What the hell is a kicker? What's a key light? The names photographers use for studio lights.
