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] This tutorial has been collected in =PhotoLust's favourites gallery (home of loads of brilliant tutorials) and has also been featured in January's journal.
