Put simply, it is where your main source of light is coming from. If it's in front of a subject, it's called Front Light. If it's behind, it's called Backlight.

Side lighting contrasts between deep shadows and hard light, or bright intense light to produce striking images, while backlighting places the subject in a hazy silhouette with long, dramatic shadows
