I have an upcoming portrait session and I want to use a key light and then have a rim light like in this photo.
What ratio should the rim light be compared to the key to get this look?
Also I cannot believe how bad google search is these days, all I can find is completely wrong information. Didn't use to be like this.
Literally impossible to just find a good article showing diff ratios of rimlight on people.
I can test at home on myself obviously but I have black hair and the model will have blonde hair so its risky.
Surely this is known information taking into account its just basic fundamental 3 point lighting information.

I found this but wtf, how can you have the ratio 1:1 and get the rim so much brighter than the key?
this wasnt matching what i got.

you are missing the point, its not just hitting her hair, its hitting that pole beside her making it look much more 3d, its also lighting tons of the background.
I have 2 strobes so one setup is the usual key and fill, but then I can vary it by doing a second setup with key and rim, and as long as my key is close to front on it will look nice.
