Candlelit

As lighting for character portraits

candlelit — lighting reference image

Warm pools of amber light with soft, deep shadows — the classic tavern-and-study mood of fantasy portraiture. Candlelight flatters faces, catches gold and brass, and makes darkness feel intimate rather than threatening. Pairs beautifully with noble, scholar, and innkeeper characters and a golden-and-warm palette.
