How does Paul Rogers’s shadow-side lighting technique outperform traditional methods?

Shadow-side lighting “outperforms” traditional front/flat lighting because:

1. It instantly adds depth: light on one side, shadow on the other = built-in contrast and dimension
2. It directs attention to the story, not just the face
3. It feels cinematic: mimics how we see light in films and in real life
4. It hides distractions and shapes the face more flattering than blasting everything evenly
