Hi Herman!

Let me guess what you're after:

1) A lightsource at the camera position. That's not a beautiful light, but
it's easy because anything you have in the cameras view will always be lit.

2) A general technique called three-point-light, used to enhance objects 3d
proportions. The basic idea is simple. But it's an interesting topics and
there is an excellent, detailed explanation here:

There seems to be more chapters at the above page, that you can access if
you like.

Best Regards,
