What about lighting that hits the subject from the front? Is there also particular angles which are more flattering? I know that umbrellas can be used to diffuse the light. Is it generally considering good practice to have only one light source, or can secondary light sources also be good? Lighting that hits the subject from the front looks like on-camera flash. When you light from the front there are no directional shadows which make the image look flat; 2D.
These lighting styles are guidelines. Different people will have all kinds of different features. A man with a strong brow may look better with split lighting because loop and rembrandt are unflattering, etc. I suggest using one light to start since it's simple. There is no set guideline to the number of lights you can use but I've seen professionals max out at 9 to 10. -- Killer Attack! - My blog on photography and film making [link]  Very helpful! Thanks.
