Commonly used to this day in photography and cinematography, where you have a "key light", big bright one up high and off to one side aiming down a bit at the subject, a "fill light" being dimmer, lower down, and off to the other side to relieve the shadows on the face that the key light throws, and a "hair light" behind the subject to make their hair glow a bit and pull them off the background.
