Butterfly lighting
High frontal light that casts a butterfly shadow under the nose. A light in front of the face and high above comes on; the face lights evenly on both sides and only a small symmetrical shadow falls under the chin.

How the movement works
For beauty and fashion portraits that flatter the face.
- 01Scene 1: a head-and-shoulders figure in front of a horizon at y 150 (head centre x 270, y 78, radius 29 px, no face or hair). the background drops to a darker scene (sky #E7E5E1)
- 02Head: entirely lit #FFC75A (no shadow side)
- 03Shadow under the chin: an ellipse centred at y 78+1.06R, 0.72R wide and 0.38R tall (R = 29, about 21×11 px), colour #33405A
- 04Body: lit within ±0.8×56 px of the centre, thin outer strips keep the base colour; plan shows the light on the camera side (0°), top-right readout "0° · ↑45°"
- 05Timing: the effect comes in from 0.4 s to 1.4 s, holds until 4.0 s and is gone again by 4.8 s (one pass = 5 s, cubic ease-in-out (about cubic-bezier(0.65,0,0.35,1)))
Prompt
