How can I achieve a striking broad lighting portrait?

To achieve a striking broad lighting portrait, position the light source at a 45-degree angle to the subject, slightly above eye level. This will create even lighting across the face, highlighting facial features and creating a flattering effect. Experiment with different light modifiers, such as softboxes or umbrellas, to control the intensity and softness of the light. Adjust the distance of the light source from the subject to control the brightness and shadows in the portrait. Finally, consider the background and composition to enhance the overall impact of the portrait.
